That's okay, Apple - no worries.  First, "Hi" :)  Sorry, you had to get one of these painful shots.  No fun.  Below is something I found off google.  How come you needed this vaccine?  In any case, feel better real soon!  Big Hug!

"The medical profession does not make a habit of describing certain routine inoculations and vaccines as more or less painful than others. This information, although helpful, might prove to be counterproductive when dealing with sensitive patients. The truth is that the tetanus vaccine is often singled out as a particularly painful shot to receive, and the residual pain can last for days or even weeks. Some people report feelings of numbness in the receiving arm within minutes of getting a tetanus vaccine booster shot. Others claim to feel a sensation like a hard marble at the injection site itself, accompanied by radiating pain throughout their arms, neck and back.

Some also complain of general fatigue and muscle weakness after receiving a tetanus vaccine. The usual course of treatment involves taking OTC painkillers such as MotrinĀ® or ibuprofen until the pain subsides, generally within a few day or a week. More serious reactions to a tetanus vaccine booster shot could be hives, rashes or pronounced muscular weakness."
