Covid Jabs

[bobbie22]

Just had my sixth COVID jab. This is a Spring booster. For the first time I have a really painful arm. The injection happened three days ago. Has anyone else had a painful arm?

Had 5 to date, 6th in june , not pain in arm as such, but did feel a bit off for a day, each time. Arm pain might be down to the skill of the jabber, which varies fron feeling nothing to ouch.

Thanks for the reply Air. The guy did really jab the needle in.

Just been invited for the Spring booster but off to France in a couple of days, so it'll have to wait.
Always had a tender arm for a day or so, and always had 2-3 days of feeling somewhat knackered. Nothing serious.

I don’t feel poorly, just arm pain. Lucky you, off to France. I love France

I'm sure your arm will feel better soon. I'll be happy to be back in a small friendly village in the country, with fresh air and nice food and wine. Unfortunately we have to go via Paris, which means metro from Gare du Nord to Montparnasse; so worried a bit about pickpockets, strikes or demonstrations. Ah well. Good luck.

Not with covid Bobbie, but I had a very tender arm this year with flu jab. It improved after about 4 days .

Treat yourself to a taxi Atheist. You know you want to!

I had a painful arm with my first flu jab and one of my Covid jabs and I agree that it’s to do with the skill of the nurse.

Sone people say they don’t feel a thing but on both of those occasions the needle went in hard and quite painful. I could hardly get dressed my arm was so stiff and painful.
It wears off in the end of course but one time it took over a week.

Maydup, already booked a taxi to St Pancras, and can't afford two in one day. Anyway, Google Earth suggests that Paris by cab might be tricky if there's any popular activities going on. Metro's OK once you get on, and I'll be wearing my manbag under my underpants this time and a mousetrap in each pocket.

[Maydup]

Lol. Safe journey Atheist.

Just had jab number six. I have found that it is not the effect of the product, for me at any rate, but more the competence of the injector.
I have regular B12 jabs and many blood tests, some you do not even feel it - others one feels like you have been stabbed.
Anyway today, 1st class delivery and not a sore arm.

"I'll be wearing my manbag under my underpants this time and a mousetrap in each pocket" - I am struggling to get that image out of my head!

Could you describe as man to us?

Mais oui, he looked like a character from a Gaulois poster with the testicles of a stallion.
