I had a general anasthetic on tuseday and trust me my hand is killing me where they put it in... actually both my hands are bruised because he couldn't get it into the vein in my left hand so had to do it all over again in the right...
but, yeah, my tetanus went all sore- if you're that worried ring your doctors tomorrow and ask for some advice from the nurse there.

Hi all, new here. My son had his TB injection about a month ago, and his arm is swollen and red around the injection site. Is this normal? Not sure whether to take him to the docs.

Yes. I was swollen and read as well. Will fade away in a few weeks. If it get any serious then see a doctor.

Yse, it's normal. Mine went red for a few months and it was swollen. It's gone down now though. I know some people who still have it swollen though. It's quite normal. I never touched mine, and if I got it wet I gently patted it dry.

It wont fade in weeks, it can be bad for months. And it will leave permenant scaring about the size of a 5p piece.
AS for the original poster, its the Tetanus injection that is causing the pain (its always a real bastard). You sure you didnt get polio by mouth though (they used to put it on sugar cube, but may have simply dripped a salty tasting liquid onto your tongue) It works best orally!

i had the second of three hepatitis B jabs today (im on the accelerated course because i need it for the US january 6). hardly hurt and have no side-effects.
Accelerated course? what is the meaning of this!?! You can accelerate it all you like, but it wont make you any the better immune. And what are you doing in the US? HepB isn't especially prevelant there, and the only reason you would need it is if you are going to work ina high risk area

what about that needle before it.Is it that finger prick or something to check whether you need it
Ah, that's nothing!!! Didn't hurt at all! 6 tiny tiny needles. I hardly felt anything. I am the most squeemish person ever, and can't stand anything like injections, and it didn't hurt me, so that must be some help.

It doesn't hurt. You just feel a sort of scrape. I was so worried, but it really isn't that bad.
I found that the bcg injection itself really hurt - it felt how i'd imagine a wasp sting feels. Having said that, my arm only ached slightly for a few minutes afterwards (mainly because everyone else was complaining that their arms hurt and so i thought i'd wack mine to see if it did too!). Other people also felt quite ill with it - temperatures and the like,but i didn't have any such reaction. When i had the tetanus booster in year 10, though, my arm really hurt for about 2 weeks afterwards, so i guess your experience depends on how your individual body responds.
