Hiya bigalan,

yes I had my 3rd booster on 5th Jan and it is still hurting me now. I think as it is hard to sleep on that arm and rest my arm comfortable during the day it aggravates my fibro pains and they complain more. I also wondered if it was because they gave me Pfizer this time and AZ the previous two times. I think my lil fibro monster is practising its ice skating up and down that arm! I can't lean on mine so have padded it with gauze then cotton pad and tape. Works for me lol!

I think from what I read and hear in general everybody has reacted very differently, I was knocked out on my 1st jab for 3 days but 2nd was fine , both Pfizer vaccines, my booster was Moderna and again I was fine, I do fine this time of year I do tend to ache a lot more with colder weather. Have you tried a wheat bag in the microwave, heat with me always help to dull my pains x

Hi Yassytina. Yes, tried everything always have a bit of pain in my neck & shoulder but after the booster this has gone off the scale its got a bit easier today hopefully on its way out now. Not much pain in arm after the injection.

I had increased pain after my shot that lasted about a week. I had a worse flare after my 2nd Pfizer shot. Had horrible achy pain, the worst brain fog, and exhaustion that lasted 3 weeks. I was a walking zombie and began to be afraid it was permanent when I woke up one morning and fog was gone.

I am not getting the booster.

Yes, I found my shoulders aching after the shots, but it does wear off,
