I recently had to have a set of injections. The first batch went in my arm and made my arm ache for a couple of days preventing me from climbing during that short period. A couple of weeks later the second batch was due, and this time I thought I'd be clever and request the vaccinations in my leg to enable me to climb still, or at least train on a fingerboard. This was a mistake! Do not repeat my decision. I have been hobbling around with a stiff leg for 3 days. Yes I have been on a finger board, but no it was not worth it.

In reply to OliverRoss:

The back is best for vaccinations I've found.

Just get it in the arm.

In reply to OliverRoss:

Depends which vaccinations they are. Intramuscular injections hurt if you tense up when they're coming!

Subcutaneous injections are a sharp scratch.

In reply to OliverRoss:

The buttock is a good place for injections.

I remember the really nasty jab was the first time I had a Typhoid one. My arm was sore for a week and couldn't hold a pen let alone climb!! Subsequent boosters over the years haven't caused such an extreme reaction.
