I had mine a couple of weeks back and my arm was painful and warm for at least 4 days before calming down. Can't remember it being swollen but it could have been because I didn't check it. X

My arm was super heavy and painful for a while but keep an eye on it.

Yes - I had mine 2 weeks ago and my arm was incredibly painful. It was very swollen, red, itchy and very hot for well over a week. It's settled now, but the nurse told me it was all perfectly normal. I would definitely contact your GP or midwife though if you are concerned.

Thank you all! Good to know it's normal! Was a little worried but not a much now :)
