SIRVA is caused by improper insertion of the needle used in injections. It is "a preventable occurrence caused by the injection of a vaccine into the shoulder capsule rather than the deltoid muscle. As a result, inflammation of the shoulder structures causes patients to experience pain, a decreased range of motion, and a decreased quality of life."
Some reactions, such as pain, may appear immediately. Others may be delayed, such as erythema which may appear 24–96 hours after injection. [2] ISRs commonly seen with subcutaneous injections include: Bleeding and bruising [3] Erythema (redness) Pain; Pruritis (itching) [4] Swelling [5] Induration (hardening of the skin) [6] Discoloration [6]
After a third shot of Pfizer's vaccine, injection-site pain is most common side effect, followed by fatigue and headache.
Until the 2000s, aspiration after inserting the needle was recommended as a safety measure, to ensure the injection was being administered in a muscle and not inadvertently in a vein. However, this is no longer recommended as evidence shows no safety benefit and it lengthens the time taken for injection, which causes more pain. [29]
There is evidence that corticosteroid injections may reduce pain for up to one month after the injection, which can have an impact on the formation of calcaneal spurs. Side effects of corticosteroid injections include peripheral nerve injury, plantar fascia rupture, and post injection flare, among others. [ 10 ]
How to Inject Semaglutide: A Step-by-Step Guide. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist taken as a once-weekly injection.
Postanesthetic shivering is one of the leading causes of discomfort in patients recovering from general anesthesia. It usually results due to the anesthetic inhibiting the body's thermoregulatory capability, although cutaneous vasodilation (triggered by post-operative pain) may also be a causative factor.
Post-acute infection syndromes (PAISs) or post-infectious syndromes are medical conditions characterized by symptoms attributed to a prior infection. While it is commonly assumed that people either recover or die from infections, long-term symptoms—or sequelae —are a possible outcome as well. [ 1 ]
