I just got a flu shot today. My arm REALLY hurts. It's swelling a bit too. I'm guessing this is normal. Though I can barely lift my arm!!! Normal?

    The intensity of the reaction to any vaccine varies from person to person. Don't fret and worry, but check it out if it keeps worsening. Also keep tabs on your temperature. If the swelling goes on growing, or your skin gets blisters, or your temperature goes over 38.5 Centigrades, go to a good doctor to check up.
