Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Pins & Needles In Arms Post A Hep B Booster?
Hi my friend had a hep b booster (dentist so for work reasons) yeaterday and today he has pins and needles over the whole arm from the site of injection to the palm of his hands. please advice and please could give us a reason why. Apart from this he is fit and healthy and no other symptoms.
The pins and needles seem to be related to side effects injection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using cold compresses at the injection site. The symptoms will relieve gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
