A member asked:
I had to get a tetanus shot and monday will make it two weeks ago. my arm still hurts and is sore when moving it. is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: The soreness can last for several weeks. If you are able to move the arm and there is no overlying skin changes you are safe to watch it. Exercise and gentle massage can help.
