Not sure if it's normal, but I just had at tetanus shot yesterday morning, now it's the following evening and my jaw muscles and even neck and shoulders are a little sore.
Shot in the dark here and not sure if this is true; and I'm not a Dr. by any means, but my only thought is that when they give you a vaccine, I think they are essentially giving you a small dose of the disease so your body can build up immunity to it. I know tetanus symptoms include muscle spasms, soreness and "lock jaw." It might be that we're feeling a small dose of the symptoms of tetanus.
I could be way off base here, but my pain is pretty tolerable for the most part rightnow. So I'm going to give it a few more days and see if it gets better. If it gets worse, I'll go back to the Doctor Who gave me the shot.
Yes, you normally get swelling as well. Should subside after afew days.
Well the doctors said it should be better overnight but mine has been almost two days.
For me the swelling only lasted 5 minutes. The redness and pain can last into the next day. Some of this just depends on the skill of the nurse, and how thick the dermis is.
