Cry we have a problem

maggie got 2 shots today...distemper and rabies. both were given in her bottom...which I have never seen but I suppose it is fairly normal. I guess it has to be given in the muscle?? anyway, this was done about an hour and a half ago and she is just freaking out. screaming massively if anything touches her bottom. even sitting down, she cries. picking her up,..she screams. she is walking funny. i called the vet and they said that she wiggled a lot during the shots and that she is probably just very sore and to watch her. to call if it gets worse. is this normal? it is just breaking my heart...my poor puppy is scared and hurting and i really can't hold her without hurting her. she is just staring at me like "why aren't you making me feel better" but i just dont know what to do. everytime i pick her up, she screams. and when she is sitting in my lap, she is crying.

i know with my daughter, i would give her pain medicine when she got shots...is there something to give to dogs to help?

any advice is greatly appreciated!!
