[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 83900, member: 1963"] I just got a DTAP, which is the adult booster for the diptheria, tetanus, and whooping cough vaccines that we've found to "wear off" after several years. The little hand out they give you warns of the potential for this type of arm pain in a percentage of recipients. Flu shots it seems to depend year to year on how sore they make me. I've run from just a sore muscle from the injection to running a high fever the day after. The OPs are correct on "move it or lose it". Ibuprofen or Aleve are best for this sort of pain (consult pharmacist if you are taking rx medications for arthritis, etc.) and alternating heat and ice will take the swelling down. [/QUOTE]
