Please help injury and first day!Rating: (votes: 0) PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE!! the first day is mostly shadowing usually, if its really bad i would postpone the start day until your better Comment:
I'd drag my butt out of bed and show up read to work but with note in hand, let them decide on what you can do that day based on the Dr.'s note. It's way not cool to not show up your first day.

Quote from FancyNaNIn almost every situation the first day and sometimes even longer it learning where to find things and shadowing... have your note, but show up. You don't want to get a reputation for call in's before you even start. They will understand.

You are taking Vicodin for a tetanus shot reaction? As far as I know, if you have a prescription for a narcotic you are allowed to be on it at work. My first couple days at work were shadowing, so if you can't use your arm it shouldn't be too big of a deal. I would show up, and explain your situation. Could you just take some Tylenol or Motrin for the arm pain if you are worried about taking a narcotic?

Oh my goodness! There is not much one can do in this situation. I am sure in a short few days, your right arm will be back to normal. I would not sweat this, it truly is something you could not have foreseen and prevented. When you are able to resume your work place duties, you will have plenty of time to redeem yourself.

I also just had my TDap shot and it hurt so bad. Not to be a baby, but I know what you're talking about. As for what to do, show up and be ready to work. Definitely give the note to the nurse manager, and they should be able to work around it. As to the medication, bring it and ask if it's okay to take it. If you get the go ahead, then take it, if not, at least you won't be using that arm. Btw...the more you move the arm, the more the pain will disperse.
