Injection in the arm - slight ‘bump’ normal?

Lounge

I got my flu jab in the arm yesterday. Totally there is a very gentle but notable bump.

Only a tiny amount of pain. Barely noticeable - I don’t think it’s infected.

Is this normal?

Yes. It can happen any time you get an injection in your arm. It’ll go down

Yeah it’s normal, if you get totally freaked by it call your doctor.

Yep pretty normal. I have my monthly Depot in arm, alternative arm each month and always a bump afterwards and can last a few weeks.

If it gets red and you get red streaks up and down your arm, probably see doctor. I get those bumps too.

I believe it’s normal.

You can always call the office or pharmacy to confirm, for reassurance.

Just a bump is normal. But like @anon78876561, if you get red streaks, you need to be seen.
