Pain from pneumonia shot10/31/2007 |
I had pneumonia shot this and I can hardly lift my arm. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain?
These local reactions are usually temporary. They usually completely resolve within 3 days. It should get better within 24 hours. Most local reactions do not require treatment. In cases when treatment is needed, pain relievers (like acetaminophen) and warm compresses can usually improve symptoms.
