A member asked:

I received two rabies immunoglobulin shots in my left and right buttocks. 12 hours later i woke up with slight tingling/pain in both of my legs and feet. is it possible this is from temporary inflammation of my buttocks or nerve damage from shot?

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

PCP: These symptoms are likely to be due to the vaccination and a reaction. A vaccine reaction may diminish with time, but if there is worsening, please see your PCP. Your PCP should be called to review these symptoms.
