:crying2:Well I had the tetorifice shot today and I must say, shots normally dont bother me, but my arm is literally throbbing and killing me and that is AFTER taking two aleve! Did you guys have a similiar result with this shot or I am I just lucky??

I got the Tdap and the TB test at the same time. The TB test didn't even phase me (it was SOO cool to watch them inject it), but the Tdap hurt for several days afterwards. At first, my boyfriend didn't believe me, so he lightly hit my arm...lets just say, that didn't happen again. Ibuprfen didn't help either. At least I have another 10 years before I need another one.
