Has anyone had any reactions with their UC after having a tetnus shot?

I had one many years ago (best ask the doc when exactly that was), no reaction.

I had one 4 years ago after stepping on a rusty nail and it didn't bother my UC, however it made my arm very sore. I also had one back in 2000, same thing no UC issues. Just be sure NOT tense up or it will make your arm feel like its gonna fall off! Lol

I got one a few weeks ago at my last prenatal appointment, but it was for pertussis (whooping cough) instead of for tetanus. I'm pretty sure that you can't get just pertussis, although I think you might be able to get a tetanus w/o the pertussis component.

At any rate, it didn't affect anything UC-wise.

My UC was fine after the Tetanus shot, but like someone else posted my arm was pretty sore for a few days. Hopefully your UC will stay calm and your arm will be feeling better soon.
