I got a Tetnus shot 2 weeks ago, and my arm still hurts. It throbs all the time, and has sharp pain in certain ROM. When I use Iboprofin, it usually helps the throbbing, but still have sharp pain in differnet movements. If I don''t take Iboprofin at night, my arm will ache so much I can hardly turn over, much less sleep. I hope this doesn;t go on to long, as can't take inflammatory meds 2x a day for ever.

Hi Jennie,
Unfortunately this can happen after having an injection, especially IntraMuscular (IM).
It should go away shortly.

I hope so....tried leaving off the Iboprofin last night, and arm still aches, but not quite as much.
You would think that the nurse who gave me the shot, would have told me about all the side effects to look out for, and also gave me a choice of which arm to use. I should not have had to go to internet to look this all up.
