lump at vaccination injection site

i did my wk 14 shot last night and as i was injecting the fon rang and it startled me and i guess i pulled the needle out just a bit and it was going UNDER my skin and so i stopped and reinjected the remander or the shot but I had a lump at thefirst injection site and i was wondering if even after rubbing the site if the medicatin will do what its suppose to since i messed up a bit. VERY concerned. I want this treatment to work and hope it will be ok.

s given to young girls/women to prevent Cervical cancer, but nothing to date for this one. The vaccination is called Gardasil. Here is a site if you wish to read about it. Best wishes.....hugs..Helen... http://www.gardasil.com/what-is-gardasil/cervical-cancer-vaccine/index.

Tdap is the worst for leaving a small lump and soreness. Anyways, I hope your injection site starts to feel better soon.

m a Nurse and today a lump appeared right after the injection site with screaming pain. This has never happened. He just gets a little stinging and that's it. What did I do wrong? I pinched the skin, swabbed just down, massaged for two mins. and the lump, it has gone down, why?

Hey so my injection site is extremely bruised and it worries me its almost a dark purple.. Has anyone expire mixed this? My other shots were unusual as well but I have sensitive skin but they were read and like the size of 2 quarters. Itchy and just a large lump.

Did massaged post injection as instructed by the nurse. But realised this lump thing over the site beneath the skin, not on the surface to be exact. Does this mean the medicine is still at the injection site region and not absorbed by the body?

I had also heard that thigh area was bad for reactions and wanted to try to prevent this. Well, I soon afterwards, I got a huge hard lump at the site which as dimished a lot, but I can still feel it two days later. Does anyone know what the lump is, ie: is it fluid collecting under the skin? For my fourth shot, on my left outer thigh, I prepped by warming the injection site for 10 mins before the shot, and chilling it for 15 mins afterwards.

I had no idea! He did use the word abscess instead of cyst. Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes!

I was using copaxone I did have a itch at the injection site and a lump that lasted for days sometimes weeks. Blistering I never experienced.

every year I experience alot of pain from flu shot injection site, and it will really start to bother me if I am coming down with something. Whyb is this? I have immune diseases...is thios the problem?

On Friday, 9/16 he had by then big lump develop at site of vaccines which is normal with soreness but to me unusually large. Took him back to Vet to be prescribed with Antibiotics for an infection verified by blood test culture under microscope. It was either dirt on his skin caused it or the vaccine itself according to my research. Its Monday (7days later) and his leg is huge. Alot of fluid. Back to the vets for drainage after I called (sight unseen).

Not the h1n1 vaccine as it is not available yet, but I asked and it will be the killed vaccination as the flu vaccine I received. I have not had any adverse reaction other than soreness at the injection site that lasted about a day, maybe less. Has anyone else gotten their flu shot already???

also after a a day or so at the injection site sometimes I get a lump that has a bug bite itch.....the nurse told me 24 hours after injection rub the lump to break it up ...and it works...... the lump and the itch go away..... I hope you find a system that works for you....I would ask your doctor..... what about calling the nurse from where you get your Betaseron...Im sure she will try to help reduce the site reactions. I hope you feel better soon...

You may experience some redness and swelling at the site of injection but you should not have a wound from the vaccine. You may have an infection or be experiencing an allergic reaction. Go to your doctor or vaccine clinic and have your wound examined. Needles are very sharp and tend to not hurt more than a "pinch" when passing the skin, if at all. There are creams and patches that numb the skin and can be applied 15-30 minutes before the shot.

and that that blood gets into my blood through the vaccination injection site ?? as I had minimal bleeding after vaccination from the site is there a risk of getting hepatitis C, Hepatitis B or HIV through this ?? Shall I visit Dr?

i had mine 2 weeks ago... and don'T have those symptoms so i would think they are not connected.

If you give an injection, in general the preferred site would be the arm for intramuscular. The insertion of the deltoid muscle on the arm is choosen as there is no vessel or nerve at this place. You draw a little to make sure that it did not enter a vessel and then start giving the injection. If it is subcutaneous then thigh, abdomen is preferred normally. To give an intravenous then the superficial veins in cubital fossa, i.e opposite your elbow is preferred.

Even if you looked away at the time of the injection, there was likely a small band-aid placed over the injection site. This would have indicated where the injection was administered on your upper arm/deltoid. Unfortunately, I am not able to comment on your MRI results. In order to do this, I would need to be your treating provider, have the official report and be able to view the MRI itself.

if you get a bump after an insulin injection it means that you chose a poor injection site. Insulin absorbs into subcutaneous fat. So wherever you shot and a bump comes up, that means there was not enough fat in that spot to absorb the insulin you just shot. try picking a more fatty area and shooting very slowly.

I am just finishing up my 2nd month of Copaxone. I had increased site reactions starting at about 3 weeks, and now they are mostly calming down again. Some spots are better than others. My stomach has very little reaction. My arms and hips I'll get a hive & lump, sometimes discomfort, but that goes away in about a day. My thighs are the worst and not only sting and have lumps, but I get bruises there also which can last weeks.

I was wondering if anyone else has lingering red/bruise marks at the injection site. I have taken 6 shots so far and still have a red bruise mark at injection site after six weeks. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is typical. Could someone please help me out here. Kinda nervious about giving the shot tonight.

More than 24 hours after the injection (late Saturday nite) I developed a very painful lump in my right arm, but not at the site of the injection. The area is the opposite side of my arm (under) from where I received the shot, about 6-8 inches away from my armpit. Last night it was a round lump, extremely painful and I could not move my arm. This morning (Sunday) the swelling has increased. It is now non circular, about 1 inch wide, 3 inches long and is red and still very painful.
