A member asked:
Is it normal for a steriod shot in left arm due to an allergic reaction from anticbiotic shot to be very painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IM shots are painful: Any time you get an intramuscular injection with a large amount of medication it is going to be painful. Try taking some ibuprofen. If it continues to hurt, see a doctor.
