Allergy Shots Side Effects

Hi! Hope you guys are doing well. Yesterday, I went back to the ENT to get my allergy shots. I brought up my concerns that the shot sites at my shoulder were numb, and they understood that. They injected my hips instead to give my arms a break, which I'm sure my numb shoulders appreciate. I think repeatedly jabbing my arms in the same places may have struck some nerves, so I may be stuck with partially numb shoulders. It's not that bad.

Only issue now is that since they injected my hips this time with everything (Hilariously, I am allergic to 40+ things), and now my butt is swollen quite badly in two places. It's not nearly as bad as yesterday, just a little embarrassing.

Does anyone else get crazy reactions from allergy shots, or is my body just that sensitive? Anything helps!

  1. I'm so sorry to hear that you cannot catch a break with your allergy shots. How is the swelling today? I hope that the allergy shots work well for you, to make the swelling and discomfort worth it! All the best, Lauren (team member)
