Those of you that have gotten the 1st Moderna shot, how long does your arm stay sore?

[demtenjeep]

no other side effects just a very sore arm

[marie999]

1. A few hours the area feels sore. After that it felt sore for 2 days only if I pushed on it.

[LizBeth]

2. Three days. By the third night I was able to lay on that side. Interestingly though, over two weeks

after shot my arm was itching, then I noticed a HUGE red wring about 4" x 3". I was actually concerned about that. I marked it to watch if it grew. It did a little then the next day it started decreasing in size. Weird.

[KentuckyWoman]

36. Me too.

I had nearly the same.
Shingles shot was worse though.

Shot #2 I had a slight headache and low fever for a day.

[LizBeth]

37. Always so good to hear another had same experience. I get my second shot Sunday. I have heard

so many symptoms with that one I am kinda scared. I have never had flu so some of the things people talk about has me pondering. I like you symptoms best. I can do slight headache and I have no idea the last time I had any fever, but figure a slight fever is not a big deal.

Thanks.

[KentuckyWoman]

38. I had "that" feeling

A teeny achy. Not sure if I cared about food. That feeling I can't explain that makes me put my hand on my head. The craving for an orange. A big nothing but the same thing I get the day before I am officially sick and makes me have to remember where I put that thermometer so I would not lose it again.

My norm is about 97.1 ish and I got up to 98.7 . Fine the next day.

Keep the faith. If our arms reacted the same maybe the rest will too.

[LizBeth]

41. +1

[SharonAnn]

40. Same for me.

[LizBeth]

42. +1

[old guy]

3. Got shot on Monday,

sore yesterday but today soreness is gone.

[Ohiya]

4. Mine was very sore for three days, it's completely better five days later. nt

[nolabear]

5. Just overnight. It wasn't bad.

[timms139]

6. Mine was sore for

a week with the Pfizer. I have read that with both shots some have reported from 2 days to a week. Got sore and peaked in 3 days and then slowly went away during the next four days. Wasn't bad just a little sore.

[demtenjeep]

7. thank you. Got it yesterday and today I can hardly lift my arm over my head. Hubby even complainin

and he is a tough old bird=never complains about anything.


I am grateful for the vaccine and I knew there would be some soreness but goodness.

I guess it is working!

[drray23]

8. my wife got it sunday.

As of today its still sore to the touch but its not bothering her otherwise.

[roamer65]

9. About 3 days for me.

[Aristus]

10. My arm didn't get sore until almosst a week later.

And it only lasted a day or so.

Now, the second dose: I was nearly bed-ridden for an entire day with fatigue. Also only lasted one day.

Totally worth it...

[Retrograde]

11. Mine wasn't sore

except when I banged it on something. My husband's was sore for about a day.

It's a lot better than the new shingles vaccine in terms of side effects!

[marlakay]

19. I am kind of scared of vaccine

But I got new shingles shots and did ok.

We have appt next Wednesday for first shot of Moderna.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. only very mildly sore here, a day at most

but I got a bruise at the site that lingered for weeks

[tibbiit]

13. First shot

My arm was very very sore for three days. On the second day I had some heart palpitations.

Second shot was almost a week ago. Slight sore arm but nothing compared to the first shot. Soreness only lasted a day. The first evening after this shot I had about an hour period of feeling like I was coming down with the flu. My face flushed and felt a little feverish. Then from one moment to the next those feelings were gone!!

I was really pleased the side effects were minimal!

Good luck everyone, I hope your experiences were close to mine if not better!

[duforsure]

14. Got my 1st shot on the second,

Had no soreness but slight redness for several days.

[Wishful-Thinking]

15. Very few side effects and arm wasn't sore

Didn’t even feel the shot when I got it actually, and arm was only a little bruised feeling but didn’t curtail movement in any way. I did have a 99Degree fever for a day but that’s all. I’ve heard the response to the second Moderna is worse.

[Turbineguy]

16. Overnight

in the morning it was fine.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Mine did for about two hours.

It does sap your energy.

[snowybirdie]

18. Two days

But got chills and aches at 24 hours after shot. Lasted overnight. Then no problems. Good luck.

[Vivienne235729]

20. 2 days

[4Q2u2]

21. One day

Second d shot killed me for 3 days. If you can plan your shot, i would.
Have tylenol and fluids ready for after tne shot

[Klaralven]

22. First day tender if I pressed on it or extended arm laterally to put the muscle under stress

Second day, faint sensation if I pressed on it.

Compared with the Age-Related Macular Degneration injection into the left eyeball the previous day, it was nothing.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

23. 2 to 3 days.

[GeorgeGist]

24. My arm never got sore.

Right flank sore since day 1. Minor achiness through day 5.

[TeamPooka]

25. it was only a couple of days

[duhneece]

26. My daughter told me to apply ice and move it

I iced it the rest of the day between exercising it (but not too much). No pain at all. None.

[retread]

27. At least 3 days, each day somewhat less sore than the previous. After the 2nd shot which I

got in the same arm it was really sore and stiff the next day but by the 2nd day pain and stiffness were gone.

[Totally Tunsie]

28. Had the first shot of Moderna, and was slightly sore

until the second morning after. Also had some fatigue, solved by a good afternoon nap.

Second shot coming on March 12!

CVS was wonderfully organized in giving the shots.

[moondust]

29. No soreness here.

No side effects.

[Squinch]

30. I had a little reaction with the first shot after a few days. The site got itchy and sore

and hot and red. An area of about 3 inches long and 2 wide around the shot. It showed up on day 5 after the shot and went away after 5 days.

It's not particularly common to have this, but it isn't rare. And it's no big deal.

[brooklynite]

31. I was told not to sleep on it overnight...

Otherwise, no problems.

[littlebit]

32. About three days for me.

Three days of it hurting kind of bad. A few more days of it just hurting a little. Good news is the second shot didn't hurt at all.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

33. Less than 24 hrs for me

[leanforward]

34. No soreness here

Just the initial Fauci pinch.

[KarenS]

35. shot was Friday afternoon, it was sore on Saturday,,,, a little sore Sunday and gone by Monday )

and,,,, I'm a big baby.
I read that alot has to do with the skill of the vaccinator.

[msfiddlestix]

39. The soreness in my arm was barely there. and maybe a few hours the next

I recently had shingles shots and (two separated by a month apart) I experienced a bit of soreness but you know it went away in a couple of days. Same with Tetanus.

Moderna, just about zip.

[Karma13612]

43. Couple days intensely

With some residual pain even now on day 4 if I press on the area.

I normally have pain after flu shot and I premedicate with a Benadryl for anticipated pain, swelling and redness.

Only got bare swelling and no redness with this shot.
