Everyone has a very sore arm but it really helps if you keep the arm moving from the time of the shot. Also, take tylenol every 6 hours religiously for 36 hours until the pain subsides. After, that, everyone feel "back to normal".
I was in a cluster of "lab rats," and we had a range of experiences. My arm was pretty stiff and aching from about 6-30 hours after my first shot, and mildly stiff from 6-18 hours after the second. Didn't stop me from riding a metric the day after the second shot! My wife, on the other hand, was popping Tylenol as you describe and stayed in bed most of the day.
FWIW, every one of this group who's been un-blinded guessed correctly as to whether they had the vaccine or the placebo.
