-- Posted by utheh at 7:21 am on July 4, 2009 I got a bunch of assorted shots yesterday, but long story, I can barely move my left arm. Is there a way to lower the tension in the muscle? -- Posted by aejae at 7:21 am on July 4, 2009 eh.. slapp et? -- Posted by Amin mele lle at 7:22 am on July 4, 2009 Don't flex or lift things? -- Posted by GoldenAdia18 at 7:22 am on July 4, 2009 Heating pad -- Posted by LiveForeverDieTonite at 7:22 am on July 4, 2009 I just let it wear off by itself. -- Posted by Maxie at 7:26 am on July 4, 2009 Slowly moving it up and down at the elbow may help. But it may take a day or two to get back to normal. If you get any weird reactions or if stiffness persists, you should go see your doctor ASAP. Don't try to use it for the rest of the day, just bend it slowly every now and then. -- Posted by XxemochickxX at 7:47 am on July 4, 2009 i dont mind doctors, as long as they dont come after me with needles -- Posted by DeForest at 8:15 pm on July 4, 2009 It's unavoidable for the most part. However flexing or clenching your fist while receiving the shot can make healing slower. Just leave it rest. You'll have to put up with the minor inconvenience. -- Posted by newmie66 at 11:14 am on July 5, 2009 Take a Motrin and put a heading pad on it for a little bit.
