If you got a flu shot Did anybody get a flu shot, and your arm is sore 2 days after getting it?

I don't remember this happening last year -

does it have anything to do with the technique of the person giving the shot?

Thank you,

I got mine Tuesday and wasn't sore or anything, I think it has a lot to do

with the technique that person uses. I got the flu and pneumonia shot one in

each arm, could have been too why I had a funky head ache on Wednesday who

Atuallt I think anything like that depends on the person who does it. Whenever I had to have a blood sample taken at the doctors in Scotland, it often bruised far worse than going to the blood donors - far more blood being taken - in England.

I kind of agree...I have had many flu shots in my life....one time in

particular was about 5 years ago...I went to a grocery store with a flu

clinic, and the lady who gave me the shot jabbed it into my arm up

high...I have skinny arms, and she hit my bone with the needle. I was

ok, but it bruised the bone and it was very sore. She aimed to high up

my arm. I will never go to the so called clinics again because of

that...I go to the doctors' office now. I have not gotten a flu shot

the last couple of years because of the shortages here. This year I

hear they have plenty. Any shot I get in my arms are sore in a couple

of days...event the tetnus shot I got. The muscle gets sore.

sometimes it was a matter of convenience. I am not one to go to the

doctor a lot...refill my scripts, and now and then for a spider bite

LOL!

So, I would be shopping, and there would be a flu shot for me. It did

cost, but it again was convenience. Convenience, cost me a shot, and

then get someone who does not know how to give a shot on top of

that....I cannot say I will never do that again, but I am thinking my

appointment in two weeks to get my years scripts renewed is a good time

to ask them for a flu and the pneumonia shot. It has been 12 years

since I had my last and only pneumonia shot. I think my tetnus shot is

still good, but hey...may also ask about that one too. Might as well go

for it all LOL!

Well I needed to go in for an asthma review anyway, so they have justbooked it in for the same time. PLus, my doctors is less than 10 min walk from my house.Yes I might have to wait longer (the nurse was on holiday, so couldn't get straight in, then as it's a 1/2 hour slot, and I have to have an appointment after 4pm, I had to wait another week on top of that), but it saves me £12 - can get a few CDs / DVDs / books for that!

CIndi and other's you know you NEED to have that pneumonia shot EVERY FIVE YEARS! Ok I had mine this year who else got or is getting theirs? If I know I can make a note of it and remind you all if we're still all here in 5 years that way we keep each other healthy. The insurance company actually pushed me into going for the flu shot they had been on me for 4 months about that. Now they better cover it LOL!

Because of the severity of her asthma right? My oldest son has asthma but was told it wasn't severe enough to require the shot but I had to get mine. Autumn, how is she doing now? Is she better? I hope so. It pulls at my heart strings when a child battles stuff like this!

They won't let me have it or the flu shot either. They say my

to me that if you are immuno-compromised you would want the extra

protection??

That's very odd, Tyler has a very compromised immune system and they push

for him to get the shot every year.

Oh get this, The youngest dr's office said NO on his flu shot, I got ticked

so I called myself and told them THEY WOULD give him a flue shot and why, I

was a severe asthmatic, and he lived in a home with a big brother who has an

ileostomy with ONLY 2 feet of intestine left, OMG they changed their tune

real quick he got in 3 hours later and got his shot. They now have the chart

high lighted that is to be a priority due to Mother and brothers

health.

my last pneumonia shot was 12 years ago...I was thinking that from what

you wrote previously that I really needed to get mine...I was really

outdated. What they told me then was it was good for 10 years. Either

way, I am due for one, and I will ask how long they are good for, and I

will let y'all know what this doctor tells me LOL!! I see a different

doctor every year! Sometimes it is a nurse practitioner who checks my

asthma and does my scripts...that is what is happening in my little

world. Not much choice where I live. I just go and hope for the best.

Generally they ask me if my meds are doing ok, and they want to keep me

on the same regimen....dunno. Just gotta hope for the best.

I think it is cute how we who get lots of inhalers stash them in the

places that we think we might need them, because it has happened too

many times in those places...we are alike, and think alike...oh boy!

Not my choice to have asthma, but I am trying really hard to live with

it. I am also thankful for like minded people here on this list....and

don't forget there are hundreds here that read what we write and never

post.

hugs!

I just go and hope for the best. Generally they ask me if my meds are doing ok, and they want to keep me on the same regimen....dunno. Just gotta hope for the best. I think it is cute how we who get lots of inhalers stash them in the places that we think we might need them, because it has happened too many times in those places...we are alike, and think alike...oh boy! Not my choice to have asthma, but I am trying really hard to live with it. I am also thankful for like minded people here on this list....and don't forget there are hundreds here that read what we write and never post. hugs!CindiTerry wrote:

CIndi and other's you know you NEED to have that pneumonia shot EVERY FIVE YEARS! Ok I had mine this year who else got or is getting theirs? If I know I can make a note of it and remind you all if we're still all here in 5 years that way we keep each other healthy. The insurance company actually pushed me into going for the flu shot they had been on me for 4 months about that. Now they better cover it LOL!

I am not one to go to the doctor a lot...refill my scripts, and now and then for a spider bite LOL!So, I would be shopping, and there would be a flu shot for me. It did cost, but it again was convenience. Convenience, cost me a shot, and then get someone who does not know how to give a shot on top of that....I cannot say I will never do that again, but I am thinking my appointment in two weeks to get my years scripts renewed is a good time to ask them for a flu and the pneumonia shot. It has been 12 years since I had my last and only pneumonia shot. I think my tetnus shot is still good, but hey...may also ask about that one too. Might as well go for it all LOL!Cindi A Hill wrote:

If you got a flu shot

If you got a flu shot Did anybody get a flu shot, and your arm is sore 2 days after getting it?

I don't remember this happening last year -

does it have anything to do with the technique of the person giving the

shot?

Thank you,

Alana

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your reply -

I was wondering about the technique because I do not remember this

happening last year, and it was a different nurse that gave the shot.

I am a little annoyed about this issue -

why can't all the nurses be taught how to administer the shot

properly?

I got the shot at my Primary's office, and I don't want to offend the

nurse who gave me the shot -

she was super nice -

but what am I supposed to do next year, if I get her again?

It's a bad situation.

I'm thinking next year, I will go to my asthma Doctor for the shot -

maybe I will have better luck there.

My GI Doctor used to have them, but they don't do it anymore.

About the headache -

I got a headache right after the shot, but I thought it was a

coincidence, because how can the shot even get into the system that

fast?

Hi ,

That is interesting -

I thought they would be really good at it, since they are doing it

all day, you know?

Alana

I will never go to the so called clinics again because of

that...I go to the doctors' office now.

[Guest guest]

They just want to give you the shot and get out of there, IN all honesty,

besides to be honest, I'd never get my shot anywhere else except for my dr's

office, I've hear of places where the flu shots have been IV solution NOT

the actual shot so I'm not always trusting of those outside of my dr's

office

Alana,

My flu shot arm was actually sore for 3 days! And it always is for me.

My pneumonia shot arm was sore for 3 days, then sore just to the touch

for 3 days, then hurt only in my elbow and shoulder joint for 2 days.

I had never gotten this shot before so I was surprised at being sore

for so long. And both were given by my regular dr.

My dr. also said the pneumonia shot was good for about 10 years. I

think they " officially " say 5-10 because they don't really know!

Hi Autumn,

Thanks for your reply -

I am really starting to wonder about this,

a few minutes ago I felt something at the shot site -

like a stinging or something -

I don't know -

it seems to be gone now.

Is this EVER going to go away???

I took allergy shots for 15 years and different people gave me shots during all those years. One of the things that they taught me was that if I am not relaxed it will hurt more. Also, vaccines tend to go into the muscle vs just under the skin like an allergy shot does so they are more likely to hurt the next day. It depends on the type of shot they are giving where it goes and how much it will hurt...but it also depends on the person recieving the shot just as much as who is giving it. I have to watch when they are giving me a shot...I can actually relax when I see it coming. Dont ask me why I am this way...I just am.

Ive never had a flu shot and probably never will. Same for the pneumonia vaccine. My husband just had the flu mist vaccine and he was physically ill for 2 days after he took that. He has no choice in the matter though, the military says he has to take it. My mindset is that as long as I dont let my health slip I am able to steer clear of the flu & bronchitis. I am now past the time of year where I normally get bronchitis on an annual basis so I think I should be good...at least until we move to Ga at the end of the month. I have only had the flu once in my life, 22 years ago...and I got that when I was already in a very weakened immune state from having bronchitis. Our school was closed down that year for a particularly bad flu outbreak...45% of our students and teachers got sick with it that year.

If it makes anyone feel better though, I did start taking 1000mg of Vit C a few weeks ago.
