No, it's normal to experience some pain a few days after the injection.
Is it normal for a tetanus shot to cause an arm to get kind of swollen and have red discoloration I got one a few days ago my arm is killing me and have a few days till I see a doctor again?
Yes, as long as it is small and local just to a small area at the injection site. If it has spread more than an inch or 2 beyond, call the doctor as you may have had a bad reaction. Many people get a mild reaction that results in swelling, discoloration, and even a "lump" that can last for weeks and this is not unusual.
If you have a lump at the flu shot injection site and now below the site is swollen red and warm to the touch can you treat it at home?
If the shot was given in the last few days, then you can help by moving the arm, even though that will not feel very good at first, the motion will help "work the soreness out". Often people avoid moving the arm and that will make it take longer to get better. You can also help by using warm compresses (not hot) to help increase the circulation to heal the tissue reaction to the injection. That will also be soothing. It is common for this type of soreness to occur as a mild reaction to the vaccine. If it is not gone in a week to ten days, then you should contact your health care professional for advice.
Can you take Tylenol because your arm hurts after the flu shot?
If you see slight swelling and redness at the area of the injection and that is what hurts, it would be okay to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the discomfort for a few days. If the area looks more swollen or red as time passes or the soreness lasts longer than a few days, then you should contact your health care professional for advice. Some people find a warm compress on the area helps ease the soreness. But, to make it hurt less the quickest way, the best thing to do is to use the arm, although you may not want to if it is sore. Moving the muscles where the vaccine was injected helps them recover quicker with improved blood flow. It is best to start using the arm as soon as you have the vaccination and you will have much less soreness. Some people always request that the vaccination be given in their dominant arm so they will have no choice but to use it following the injection and they find either no soreness or reduced soreness when they do.

You got the flu shot 3 weeks ago you do not believe it is infected however you can barely lift your arm Should you be concerned?
There is a common local reaction to the vaccines that causes pain at the location of the injection and sometimes when moving the arm. However, this is typically gone in a few days' time. If it has been 3 weeks, you should consult your doctor, there could be a secondary bacterial infection at the site of the injection or other reason for the pain that could and should be treated.

Can flu shots be given in the Gluteal area?
They can be, but usually aren't. This is mostly because many people get red and tender tissue at the site of the injection for a few days after the shot. It is much easier to deal with that soreness in a location like the arm that doesn't need to be sat upon.
