Mantoux injection.

2022-02-18 08:34:01
I was administered an injection for mantoux test yesterday on my left hand. I was asked not to lift anything heavy and avoid contact with water on the particular area. So I followed the said instructions, however my left hand is paining from the elbow joint to the injection spot. Is it normal ? Although there's no bump or anything but left hand is paining for no reason.
