I Have Backache After Vaccinations, It Is Not Going After Tylenol Also
I just got 4 shots today and my back has started hurting. I took a TDAP, meningitis, tetanus and some other shot. Right after I took it, my arms hurt so I took a tylenol . An hour after I took tylenol my back started to hurt. What do you think the problem is?

hi!vaccination is usually done in upper and outer gluteal region. slightely medial side given shot may have damaged underlying structure.it may produce pain at site of injection. ur backpain is of what type? backpain is usually not related to any vaccination as per my knowledge.

Your backpain nothing to do with vaccination, it is a separate entity. Antiinflammatory formulations like Combiflam 1tds will be very useful to reduce inflammation and pain. Local application (with gentle rubbing) of liniments like Rumalaya liniment will be useful. You should get relief in a weeks time. If not, he needs to be investigated.
