Took Hep A Vaccine. Have Red Ring Around Injection Site. Back Pain Worse Since Injection. Cause?

I got the Hep A vaccine yesterday. I know about about a 1 inch red ring around the injection site. is this normal? my arm is sore at the injectin site which is to be expected. I'm also having back pain on my left side. I was having back pain before the injection but it seems to be worse today. it kinda of feels like I strained my muscle some how. Im just a little worried that the pain is worse since the injection.

I dont think you need to worry about that.
you probably are relating it to that.
take some paracetamol or do some hot fomentation for the back and it should settle down.
