Hi everyone

I had my 2nd Pfizer jab last Friday, I had a sore arm over the weekend as per, but yesterday (Tuesday)developed a painful shoulder which made it difficult to use my arm. Took paracetamol, as you do, still sore this morning. Any thoughts? Thanks lovely people, have a good day.

The initial reaction like sore spot on arm you get is from your body’s innate immune system. But it takes a few days for your adaptive immune system (T calls and B cells) to react so common to get different reactions after a few days.

(And if you don’t get any reaction it doesn’t mean your immune system not working - we are all different.)

It’s 3 weeks since I had my second Oxford jab. The ‘spot’ continues to be fairly painful. This will pass?

(Also a Freddie fan if you mean Mercury! Hugely so.) Had exactly the same with Pfizer 2, (but I do have an osteo shoulder) but it did make my whole upper arm heavy and feel much more bruised although nothing to see. For 5 days then after a week back to normal. It wasn’t just as though I’d felt a little pain exactly where the needle went. Try use your arm a bit but don’t weight bear on it and hope it’s back to normal very soon. x
