I saw a new PCP today and he's a keeper, BUT...
the sadist made me take both a flu shot and a pneumo shot. The flu side is doing fine, but the pneumo side is killing me. Of course the office is closed until Monday now...soooo, anyone had one of those and is it supposed to hurt like this? There's no redness or itching but it's painful to touch and feels like a Copax lump under the skin for about 5 inches around the shot site!

yes, the last time I got one the same thing happened to me. I was told it was because when the shot was given the fluid didn't distribute. The nurse suggested warm pack & the keep rubbing it to help distribute the fluid.Good luck!

if you're feeling ok and no fever probably just a site reaction.
actually i was going to suggest some ice for the first 24hrs. then maybe some heat. but, why don't you check with your pharmacist? or, any pharmacist. i know my walgreens is open today and tomorrow. they know about shots. hope it resolves.

I found with the flu shot, it helps to rub it for quite awhile. Maybe the same goes for the pneumo shot. Sitting in the hot tub to rub it always worked for me!
Of course you have to like hot tubs for that to work.

RW, we are allowed to have flu and pneumo shots on Tysabri? I never bothered asking. I thought maybe I didn't want to do any mucking around with my immune system more than I have to.
 hope your arm is feeling better!
