Suggest Remedy For Pain After Getting RiteAid Injection
Hello. My name is Linda. A little over two weeks ago I got my flu shot at RiteAid. My arm is still hurting something awful. My range of motion is limited. I have a great deal of difficulty sleeping. Every time I turn over it hurts and wakes me up. After two weeks of no sleep and being in pain, I am not a happy camper. Are there any remedies you can suggest? From some of the websites I looked at yesterday it sounds like cortisone, aspirin, exercise, heat, cold, most nothing helps. I have taken three ibuprofen and it doesn t touch it. I hope you can be of some help. Thank you.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injection.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest using cold compresses on the area of pain and rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
