Still better than getting Covid.

and stretch it out occasionally.

It should start feeling better soon.

It doesn’t last long. But, wow, it hurts!

before. Take care.

Near, but not on, where the shot went in. It helped quite a bit. Early Covid shots warned to avoid taking otc meds for pain, even for a few days before you got the Covid vaccine or booster. I think it was so that any concerning symptoms weren't masked.

It might hurt, but if you stay well, it's worth it Some of the boosters I got hurt, but this last one didn't.

So I could tell if I had a reaction and to which one.
Had a quarter size lump in the flu arm, I just iced it.

I take a OTC (over-the-counter) pain relief with food when needed.


I don't get generally get fevers after a vaccination but I always like to drink extra water to stay hydrated.


This lovely lady is in my YouTube history and favorites. She demonstrates helpful exercises that I do a several times a day.

Never had any issues with all previous Covid/Flu shots. In addition to the sore injection site I also was very tired and had a bad case of the chills, complete with teeth chattering!

I got both covid and old ppl flu shot in the same arm. I didn't feel either of them. I had no reaction. Isn't it strange how it affects everyone different?
