My Arm Still Hurts!

[Janet]

Three weeks ago today I got the last of my hepatitis shots. Didn't hurt, until the next day...and it is still hurting. After spring break I went in to the school nurse since she is the one who gave me the shot. There is also a knot/mass something the size of the palm of my hand. It also hurts at times, all the way up into my neck. She said she had never seen anything like it before.

Last week ...since it had been hurting for two solid weeks, I went to my Dr. The nurse there said that is what it was....from the shot. To take ibuprofen 3 times a day and use a cool compress. I did.....didn't help. I was going to call the Dr. tomorrow, but they are out on Wednesdays so now I'll have to wait until Thursday....after I take Mom to her kidney Dr.

Has anyone had a problem like this after getting a shot? It just has me a bit worried since it's been hurting for 3 weeks without letting up.
