INJECTIONS

Yesterday. I recieved two injections. One was a flu shot the other was a pneumonia shot. The pneumonia shot went into my left arm. I am left handed. About 4 hrs. later....my arm was hot and sore. In about 6 hrs. I could not move my arm in any direction without severe pain. Called the on-call person at my doctors office. I recieved two calls. The first one was from an Indian female doctor who told me to put ice on it and take some motrin. Like we have motrin sitting around the house. The other call was a nurse practioner that told me to put a warm compress on it and take some of my tylenol 3s. The heat helped alot. I have worked in health care a long time.......I should have already known that you would'nt put ice on it. Oh well, it's alot better today. Still sore though.
