    Default Is it normal to have a sore achy arm 5 days after the flu jab?

    I had the jab for the first time last Wednesday and my arm was very achy and sore for the whole of that day, the next day a little bit sore and after that it was fine.

    This morning I started to get the achy feeling again and I've had it all day. It's mainly in the area that I had the injection but goes all the way down my arm to my wrist.

    Is it normal for this feeling to return several days after in the injection or do I need to speak to my doctor?

    Somrtimes it depends on the nurse and the way she has given the injection.
    My friend had it who was fine, her mum had it the same day by a different nurse and had a big bruise and said she felt like someone had punched her.
    If you feel concerned check it out with your doctor xx
    Hope your feeling better soon x
