Arm has been hurting continuously after receiving the quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine

After receiving the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, persistent arm pain is usually caused by vaccine side effects, external injury, muscle strain, or other reasons. Patients can adopt corresponding treatments based on their specific condition, as detailed below:

1. Vaccine Side Effects

After receiving the quadrivalent HPV vaccine, some patients may experience the aforementioned symptoms due to minor muscle damage caused by the injection. This is a common vaccine side effect and does not require special treatment; symptoms typically resolve gradually with rest.

2. External Injury

If the arm sustains an external injury after vaccination, it may irritate the nerves in the arm, leading to the described pain. In such cases, patients should visit a正规 medical facility where doctors may recommend heat therapy to alleviate discomfort.

3. Muscle Strain

If patients frequently use the injected arm, they may develop muscle strain, which could contribute to pain following vaccination. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as aspirin tablets or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets for relief.

In addition to the above, the pain might also result from irritation of blood vessels or nerves during injection. It is recommended that patients avoid overexertion after vaccination and protect the injection site properly to prevent further injury.
