Symptom narrative

The shot was administered in my upper left arm at approximately 2:45pm. My arm began feeling sore after dinner, 6:30pm. The soreness is in my left bicep. The pain began to throb around 9:00pm and there was a sort of burning sensation down to my thumb. I applied an icepack for relief. I was unable to lift my left arm, as it became so painful. My husband helped me take off my top. I took 2 advil and laid down in bed. I Finally found relief from the throbbing pain down my left arm by laying on my right side, with a pillow between my side and my arm. Today, after taking 2 advil, I'm not experiencing the throbbing but I'm not able to lift my arm. It's mainly painful in my left bicep to move at this time. 10:10am. I will be applying an ice pack throughout today. I don't have a headache, which is great.
