Tetanus shots can make your arm sore for a couple of days. It's normal.
Call and ask the doctor's office. They should know.

Yes, it is normal. Your physician or nurse should have provided you with aftercare papers instructing you on how to handle such discomfort.
I would recommend a hot compress and a few aspirins. However, if you begin to run a fever, go to your physician or local emergency center ASAP!
yeah, its normal.i had to get a tetanus shot a few months back and was terribly sore for about 1.5 weeks.them buggers hurt!!
Sometime this happens, you go to the doctor,he will relieve you.
It's quite normal, as the tetanus vaccine can irritate the surrounding muscles quite a bit. Another possibility is that the doctor or nurse giving you the jab could've hit a nerve, which isn't an uncommon occurence when injecting into the arm.
Try and apply a cold pack on the site of injection to help ease the soreness. This should pass in another couple of days. If it still persists, go back to the clinic where you received the injection, and seek medical attention.
Take care.
hurts like an s o b doesn't it? yep your normal.fortunately you wont need another for a long time!
most tetanus shots are toxoids with an slightly oil base. the pain shoul subside with in 2 days. but if u develop fever and increase in swelling than u ve injecton abscess and u should show to a doctor

IT IS ALWAYS MORE SORE THE SECOND DAY. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS NORMAL, BUT I BELIEVE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP USEING THAT ARM LIKE NORMAL TO PREVENT YOUR ARM FROM STIFFINING UP!
VERY NORMAL I had one also. I cant seem to go without getting one every 5 to 7 years. I'm accident prone. I stepped on RUSTY NAIL. You can work out the stiffness.
Yes, it will go away.
its normal, just remember that most shots are given in the muscle, it should subside within a couple of days.
