What Causes Pain In The Arm After Receiving Pneumovax Injection?
Hello, Pain and swelling after an injection are normal, but excruciating pain leading to the inability of movement as in your case is not. I would advise you to wait for a day or two and if you don t feel any relief get yourself checked by a physician to rule out any infection. Meanwhile continue taking the Aleve as it will help to reduce the pain and inflammation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Nazma.amman, General & Family Physician
