Suggest Remedy For Pain In Arms Post Flu Shot
I had gotten the flu shot this morning and now over 3 hours later, it hurts when I lift my arm or do anything with it. I had taken Advil, I bathed it in hot water and I applied a cold washcloth and it is still paining when I move it just the tiniest bit.

Hi,
Take over the counter painkillers, apply ice pack, avoid too much work from the arm. Just wait for three days, it will subside.
Thank you. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
