[quote=Anonymous]Whether or not you get the sore arm depends on: 1. the skill of the person administering the shot, and 2. if you tensed your arm muscle up or not You can control #2 -- keep your arm muscle LOSE. Look at your arm (if you're not freaked out by needles) so you don't tense when the needle pokes you. As for #1, all you can do is to go to a competent practicioner, and hope for the best :) A nurse once told me that it's best when they ease the needle in rather than jabbing (I'd assume because jabbing would cause you to tense up more), and once I had a nurse hit my arm bone when she jammed the needle in there :x so you could ask that they administer the shot a little slowly.[/quote]
