What Causes Swelling And Stiffness On The Arm After Receiving A Pneumonia Shot?
Hi, I received my first pneumonia shot last Friday the 6th, and my arm swelled up quite a lot and was very sore and stiff. Today the swelling has gone down quite a lot but there is some blotchy redness that has started. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

it is normal, as long as there is no increase in swelling tenderness and fever no need to worry.im injections might cause mild swelling and pain that eventually subsides
