TB skin test (Too deep)?!
Question: Just curious (and a little worried).
I dot a TB test for my job last week, and they went really deep. (The skin did not even bubble) And now for the past few days my muscles in my arm have been aching. It did not occur to me until today that it is the same arm I got the TB test in...
So, what happens when they go to deep? Should I be worried?

Your probably having a localized reaction to the TB test serum. You do need to have the test repeated because it must be placed right under the skin (forming a bubble) for accurate results.
I would not worry about it.
Hmm my test was ok, so I wouldn't know if they did smth wrong with you... but instead of worrying so much, I think it's best to call the hospital (or wherever they did the test) and ask them about it :) Hope the aching goes away soon!
