Arm is just a little stiff with less range of motion. Day 2 post vaccination #2

[ Edited ]

So far, my arm is just a little stiff with less range of motion. When I reach for things I feel it. It's Day 2 post vaccination #2 for me. I had the Pfizer. First vaccination I had no stiffness or soreness in the arm or any other side effects. 

UPDATE at 4:02. I just felt under my arm (a.ka. axillary area) and it is swollen.  Doesn't hurt but it's larger than under the other arm. 

UPDATE at 4:23, Day #3. Soreness and stifffness in my arm is gone. I feel fine today. Range of motion is normal.

@Mindy D 

 

Good to hear. Keep this updated will you?  We get our #2 on March 5th and it is Pfizer. Thank you, and hope it goes from here like your #1.

I am going tomorrow for my second dose.  My girlfriend and husband had their second vaccines last week and aside from some fatigue on my girlfirineds's part, they are fine.

 

Thanks for the input, I know we are all different in our reactions.  Be well and continue to stay safe!

We had our second Pfizer dose on Sunday morning. The next morning I did have body aches, an elevated temperature, and chills.

 

Yesterday I just felt tired, but today all is well.

I’m getting Moderna #2 tomorrow. My arm was sore after first shot but nothing else. 

 

My son had both Pfizer shots and no problems.

@Mindy D  My hub's and my arm felt just like that for about 4 days after the 1st vaccine.  Just a bit sore after the 2nd but we had chills, headaches and body aches also after the 2nd.

I got my first (Moderna) dose yesterday.  By evening my arm was a little sore and that's continued today.  Nothing major....about like the soreness I get from my regular flu shot.  My second one is the 23rd of March.

Hope it doesn't get any worse and only lessens up for you. 

 

We aren't *eligible* for shots yet and don't even know where we'll be (state-wise), when we are.    Have to figure this one out...

Good news @Mindy D!  Remember to do those arm circles and also lift your arm straight out from your side.  Even if it is uncomfortable.  Hopefully, it won't last for long, but exercising that arm will also help some.
