Hey I think my sister gets them in her butt cheek. You should probably ask the doc, but I know my sister says it hurts for a good while

Man! Maybe it is just a particularly painful shot, like tetanus.

My bf says that maybe the speed of the injection this particular time pissed the muscle fibers off. I have had the shot 5 times and 4 times in the arm and this isn't normal.

Well if you feel its not normal then call your Dr.

If they hit a nerve you would probably have some numbness or tingling or something like that. The speed of the injection has a lot to do with it....You are supposed to insert the needle as fast as you can. Kinda like playing darts....Its all in the wrist...Seriously! You would think the faster you went the more it would hurt, but its the opposite! Put some ice and heat on it and you should be fine! If you arent in a few days...Call the doc!
Watch for infection signs too! (redness, swelling, hot to touch, elevated temp)

Perhaps you should consider changing where you have it
