They gave it to me the day after my son was born and I was so pissed. I sobbed about it to my husband and wailed "but my arm was the only part of me that didn't hurt!!!" Ugh, not a fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-dtap-vaccine-kill-your-arm#post-758659 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:33:33 +0000 doodlepoodle 758659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine hurt like HELL!

I got my dtap last week and the injection site has been swollen, itchy and my arm just feels like someone punched it real good the past week =(<br /> i thought something was wrong, but the hubs keeps reminding me that those are all normal side effects of getting a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-dtap-vaccine-kill-your-arm#post-758174 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:31:03 +0000 CarrieLouWho 758174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, sore in the area if the shot for several days.

It wasn't unbearable but definitely worse than my flu shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-dtap-vaccine-kill-your-arm#post-758127 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:18:36 +0000 autumnlove 758127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a little sore for a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-dtap-vaccine-kill-your-arm#post-758089 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:10:48 +0000 MrsRoo 758089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really heavy arm for about 30 minutes afterwards. I didn't get it until right before we left the hospital after K was born though, so it's entirely possible that I had some stiffness that I didn't notice with all the other pains going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-the-dtap-vaccine-kill-your-arm#post-758055 Thu, 02 May 2013 19:00:05 +0000 deerylou 758055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got my Dtap vaccine today, and my arm is already feeling really stiff. I've heard that it gives you incredible dead arm for a few days, and hurts pretty bad.</p> <p>Anyone have pain associated with this shot? </p>
