Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your posting. A fellow visitor to the website found relief after experiencing similar pain following a HepA shot, you may want to check it out: Flu Shot Thread
In addition calling your doctor is a good idea to ask what could be going on. It is not uncommon to have pain at the site of injection following a shot. The information they gave you about the shot should have remedies such as applying a warm compress, moving the arm to exercise and work out any stiffness that may be there. You also may be able to take a pain reliever such as acetaminophen, or ibuprofen, but you should talk with your doctor about what they recommend if they haven't already given you instruction.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
