Someone tell me...
 

How long will my arm hurt from this darn flu shot??? :cookoo:


Got it on Thursday @ lunchtime.

The pain will go away when the mutation is complete. :bt:

I haven't had a flu shot in forever, but from the other shots I have had I recall that some hurt longer than others due to your body's immune system fighting what was in the shot. That is how your body develops what it needs to fight the thing. Your doctor should be able to tell you how long it will hurt, if it is more than a couple of days then you should probably get it looked at.

I got the flu mist...military doesn't get the shots anymore...it still sux though...you sniff it up through each nostril...and you can feel it passing through your nasal passages & some seeps down your throat...so ummm, I guess I know what you ummm ladies go through sometimes...uggggh.

Ewwww....I absolutely hate the feeling of water up my nose. I can't do any sprays because they make me feel like I'm drowning.

I think the nurse was a little rough with me....she stabbed my arm with a gleam in her eye!!

suck it up Karen....pain makes you tougher and gives you chest hair.

lol...try getting a shot while in basic training!
Talk about painful?

I need chest hair...for the winter months ;)

When I was in college we had to get shots before our sea year. They used compressed air guns to shoot the doses in our arms. We got hit in both arms at once. Talk about hurt!!

ooooh....ouch.

i had a colonoscopy a few weeks ago.... who's gonna top me?

hm... i cant top that... but my wife had a nerve taken out of her leg/ankle, put into her face...and muscle taken out of her side, put into her face... then a 3rd surgery to connect the nerve/muscle (after which.. she went shopping) :)

she said the most painful part was taking the "stitch" out.. the doctor did 1 continous stitch around her ankle and up her leg. they pulled it out in one clean jerk.

she wins.

My arm no longer hurts, but I still have a red mark where the shot went in :mad:

oh yah... i forgot.. there's more... after her last surgery... where the put some "artificial" tendon in.. her face didnt like it... so.. she had to "clean it out" every so often, but putting a tube in a squirting in some kinda stuff.. my dad did it, no way i could do that! yuck! bascically her body rejected it.. to the point it "pushed" it out the incision... we went back down to the surgeon... he's kinda like... "well crap" - and finished pulling it out and threw it in the trash... gotta love that... i think shes finnaly given up 4 now.

My wisdom tooth on the left side is giving me hell right now. Ugggh!
