What Causes Swollen And Painful Arm After Having Pneumonia Shot?
After I had a pneumonia shot in my right arm, it has been sore, and it hurts to put weight or pressure on it. It is now swollen, but it burns from time to time, it has been over two months when I got my shot. I can raise and lower my arm so my shoulder joint doesn't seem to be the problem, it feels more like the muscle, any suggestions? Could it have been caused from where they injected the shot?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, muscular spasm may happen due to respiratory infection, and this is happening due to inflammatory process in lung tissues and this could affect the surrounding muscles too, but this comes to normal one, once the infection overs, meanwhile this can be treated with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, hope this information helps take care,
