Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have shock like feeling in arm in the site of intramuscular shot , Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like :-
- Drugs may contain impurities.
- Microbes entering the body by injection cause dangerous infections and abscesses .
- Used and too-short needles will damage the tissues
Symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to injury to nerve , blood vessel or muscle fiber . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses gently and do gentle massage . If condition doesn't get well or get worse like bulge develops on the injection site , then consult your doctor for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics for infection , anticoagulant for hematoma or anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
