Whooping cough injection hurting shoulder

7 Replies

I had my whooping cough injection in right arm and my flu in the left.

I’m in a lot of pain, not from the injection site but my shoulder joint.

I can’t lift my arm over midway, behind me and sleeping it really painful.

I had it two weeks ago.

Is this normal?

Hi I had the same. It disappeared after a couple of weeks and when I had the flu jab I didn't have any pain at all. I'm not sure why it does causes shoulder pain- I have mild arthritis so thought it was that but if you're still in pain best go get checked x

I felt the same too. Felt like I had been punched hard in the arm but it went after a few days x

Yeah I would expect that but a few weeks?

Yep, whooping cough is meant too be worse than the flu jab.

Sounds like it could be unrelated to the injection to me. See your dr or an osteopath x

Mine hurt for a few days. Put some ice on it and if it still doesnt heal, go to the gp.
