Usually, they won't give both shots in the same arm, but since they did, take Ibuprofen 600mg every 4 hrs and apply warm compresses to your arm where it hurts three times a day until it feels better. You could also use a heating pad. If your arm is red and/or swollen, call your doctor.

I've been there. The HPV shot is the one that hurts the most. It made my arm so sore where i could barely touch or move it. Tips: take a day off so you won't have to use your arm so much. The pain will go away on its own. I don't recommend taking any pills because its not good to mix drugs with vaccines. Maybe an icepack will help.
