Swelling on Arm??

Raggydoll · Nov 15th, 2009, 17:55 PM

Hi,

I had the swine flu jab yesterday. I feel fine in myself and baby is dancing around merrily.

I was advised I would get a bit of pain in my arm following the jab but my arm seems quite swollen (i've got a noticable red lump) and painful. It's also a bit itchy.

I just wanted to check with anyone else who had, had the vaccine how much swelling they have had? THe jab was in my left arm and I'm sleeping on that side, could this have caused the swelling?

I had my jab on friday evening. My left arm (yeah the side we are supposed to sleep on grr!) is red around where the needle went in and is a bit swollen.

Mine too - raised red patch around where the needle went in, and it itches and hurts when I touch it. I'm avoiding lying on that side cos it hurts!

Thank you.

It's been so long since I last had a vaccination I wasn't sure if it looked right.
