about 2 months ago I had a shot on the inner side of arm joint. The pain was unbearable and lasted a couple hours. The dr. called me to seeif I was all right and I told him it still hurt. Since then, there is little pain during the day but after about 3 hours sleep I wake was this awful pain running from shoulder to elbow and then down top of arm to wrist. I put analgesic rubs on and take ibuprophin and after about 30 minutes I can go back to sleep. I told the dr. about it again yesterday and he put another shot in the outer arm. I have polymyalgia. That didn't hurt. If he hit a nerve the first time, will it heal and when?? or a tendon??
I think it will probably just take time to work itself out. I am guessing you were already sore there when you received the injection? I hope you start to feel better soon
