Area around shots swollen?
 
Hi all, I got my meningitis & Tdap vaccines yesterday around 3pm. I woke up this morning with a very very sore arm. As of now, I can't move my arm much due to the horrible pain (like reach for a doorknob, pick things up, etc). The area is swollen and that part of my skin feels warmer than the rest of my arm. Is this normal or should I call my doc? Thanks

It's normal the day after a shot for your arm to be sore (espeically if you got 2 in the same arm). Putting a heat pack on your arm may help, and even though it huts to move it, moving it around and warming up/stretching the muscle will help. If the swelling continues to get worse tomorrow, or it gets really red then you should call your doctor.
