 “Went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep,” he tweeted alongside a photo of himself lying in a hospital gown with IVs in his arm. 
 
 “I’ll be ok but it’s important that you keep an eye on who’s giving the shot and make sure they not only swab the spot correctly but that you watch the needle come out of the package,” he advised.

 He also shared the news to his Instagram account, adding the hashtags “#neveradullmoment #tips #shots #hospitalvisit #louferrigno #illbeok” 
 
 Reps for Ferrigno did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. 
 
 While it is unclear what specific shot was given to Ferrigno, there are two types of vaccines that fight against pneumonia, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

 PCV13 and PPSV23 are both recommended for adults who are 65 and older in order to avoid contracting infections from pneumococcal diseases, such as meningitis, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and ear infections. 
 
 Though both shots can bring on mild side effects that often go away on their own, only PCV13 has been reported to cause swelling at the injection site, the CDC said.

 Despite Ferrigno advising his fans to be extra cautious when receiving shots, the CDC reports that the United States has the safest and most effective vaccine supply in its history. 
 
 In addition to playing The Hulk, Ferrigno most recently picked up roles in several films including The Avengers in 2012, Star Trek Continues in 2014, and Enter the Fire in 2018. He also has several projects lined up for 2019, according to his IMDb page.

 Aside from his acting career, Ferrigno has spent years dedicated to bodybuilding, which he officially retired from in the 90s, and co-founded his family’s fitness program, Ferrigno Fit, with his daughter Shanna. 
 
 His reputation in weightlifting and bodybuilding secured him the job of training Michael Jackson ahead of his comeback tour in 2009. ||||| CLOSE The Caller-Times chatted with actor Lou Ferrigno and he told us a little about himself and what fans can expect at the second annual Corpus Christi Comic-Con this weekend.

 “The Incredible Hulk” star revealed on Instagram he was hospitalized this week after he went to get a pneumonia shot – presumably a vaccine – and ended up with fluid in his bicep. He posted an unhappy looking snap in a green hospital gown, warning his 87,000 Instagram followers about his condition. 
 
 “Went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep,” he wrote Thursday. “I’ll be ok but it’s important that you keep an eye on who’s giving the shot and make sure they not only swab the spot correctly but that you watch the needle come out of the package.” 
 
 The 67-year-old actor’s fans crowded his Instagram comments field with well wishes, sending him their concerns. 
 
 One fan wrote, “Lou! Please get better very soon. You're such an inspiration to me and for so many!” 
 
 On Friday, Ferrigno revealed he was doing better. On Thursday night after he was released from the hospital, he attended a Smash Global MMA event in Los Angeles. 
 
 “What a great night with @smashglobal and @steveorosco,” he wrote. “Really great getting to hang out with some old friends as well @dolphlundgren. Happy I made it out of the hospital in time.”

 Carla Ferrigno, in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, says she was just still in her teens but over 18 when Cosby tried to sexually assault her 
 
 What did Camille know? She was out with Carla, her 'date,' and Bill and knew she was in the house when she retired for the night 
 
 Lou Ferrigno played The Incredible Hulk on TV from 1977 to 1982 
 
 'What happened is I was Kentucky on vacation to see my family. I got back to LAX [airport] and this man maybe 30s, he came over to me and said he would love to have my phone number and take me to dinner sometime.' 
 
 This was in 1967 and Carla was a Playboy Bunny in Los Angeles working at the Playboy Club. 
 
 'I was used to that. So I said ok,' she said. 
 
 'He called me about a week later and we went to dinner. We had a very nice time. Very nice man. And then he said to me after dinner, "My close friend is Bill Cosby and I was wondering if you might want to go to his house." 
 
 I said, "sure", so I went over there with him. His wife was there. 
 
 'And he was there. Camille. I can't remember anyone's name anymore, but I remember hers. I will never forget her. 
 
 'We were there not even 10 minutes there and Bill suggested we go the movies. 
 
 'He talked to me a lot at the movies. I was uncomfortable with that because his wife was there. But he was funny. He was fun. 
 
 'So it was suggested we go back to his house to play some pool. And I loved that idea. I was the pool bunny at the Playboy Club. I was very good at pool. 
 
 'I grew up with my mom in a bar that she owned so I was playing pool at seven. I was pretty good' 
 
 She and her date and Bill started to play pool and in the middle of the game, she looks up and asked where Camille was.

 'She's probably gone to bed,' Cosby told her. 
 
 'Things are starting to feel odd now. I'm from the South and you always say good night to your guests so I asked, "Why didn't she say goodnight?"' 
 
 'He said she was probably tired so I kept watching them play. And then Bill won, so Bill and I played. And pretty soon I noticed that the guy disappeared and I asked where he went, 
 
 'He told me 'probably to the bathroom'. 
 
 'Things really seemed odder now. We kept playing. Bill beat me. And just as I was ready to put the pool cue down he came forward at me. I thought he was reaching for the pool cue. But he came at me and grabbed me in such a powerful way. Grabbing me. 
 
 I had never been treated so roughly and he pulled me hard to him, so hard. 
 
 'He was much bigger than me. Much bigger and he pulled me so hard and so rough. I had never been treated so roughly and he pulled me hard to him so hard. 
 
 'And then kissed me so hard, right in the mouth. No one has ever been that physically violent with me. 
 
 'I was stunned. I was frozen. I took all my body strength and used both of my arms to stop him and push him away from me. He was so forceful. 
 
 'And I said, "What are you doing?'" He just looked at me. 
 
 'He said, 'What's your problem?' And I didn't know what to say. I said, 'I've never been kissed by a black man before.' 
 
 And he said, "How was it?" And I said,"Just the same." 
 
 'He glared at me and in this very mean tone said, 'Obviously it isn't, or you wouldn't have made that comment.'

 'I just ran. I just took off down the hallway, and I saw my friend show up in the hallway, I knew right then, that he knew, he knew why he was bringing me here.' 
 
 She told him she wanted to go home. They didn't talk about what happened. He took her home and she never saw that man again. 
 
 I want to address every woman in America to come forward so this sort of thing doesn't happen again. Any woman who was hurt by this man needs to stand up and speak out. No more. No more. 
 
 'Since then, when I've thought about it, I look back and think, after that 'push' when I pushed him away and he was staring at me, he was evaluating me. 
 
 'He tried to give me drinks.' 
 
 She said no and then he asked if she wanted any other kind of drink, and she refused. 
 
 'I wasn't one of the vulnerable ones. I wasn't one of the ones he was going to get. 
 
 Carla says she never told her husband about what happened. 'I didn't tell even him (meaning Lou), eight years ago when that woman came out ( Andrea Constand) 
 
 ' And a few years before that, I was at a celebrity event with Lou. We were all at tables. He (Cosby) was at another table and Lou said he was going over there to talk and say hi.' 
 
 She told him she wasn't going over to say hello to that man. 
 
 When I was reminded when we went to that event, I didn't even tell Lou about it then. And the last couple days, I'm hearing it on every radio station and TV and I tell my husband that I have to come forward. 
 
 Cosby finally gave some response to these recent allegations in an interview with the AP on November 6, saying he had 'no response' and 'no comment' 
 
 'To be set up like this really really made me angry! It was just awful. I was listening to what he did to those other women and I feel blessed. 
 
 'So blessed that he didn't do to me what he did to them. But some of those girls wanted something from him. 
 
 'I never wanted anything from him. I was smart to get away. That was smart.' 
 
 Lou told Carla he didn't want her to come forward. 'But I do what I want to do,' she told MailOnline 
 
 Lou told Carla he didn't want her to come forward. 
 
 'But I do what I want to do. He (Lou) went to Reno to work and I'm here. Lou said, "I don't think you should do it. It's not good. It's you know, not safe" 
 
 I said, 'I don't give a f***, This was inside of me my whole life and I didn't like it. And every time I'd hear his name, I'd cringe. 
 
 'I knew he was a creep and nobody else knew he was a creep, so I kept it to myself. It's that simple. 
 
 THE WOMEN WHO SAY THEY WERE DRUGGED AND RAPED BY COSBY Andrea Constand - A Temple University employee, she claimed in 2006 that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in his Philadelphia-area mansion two years earlier. Cosby eventually settled this suit out of court as the prosecution said they had 13 Jane Does who would testify Cosby did the same to them in the past. Barbara Bowman - Bowman told MailOnline that Cosby raped and drugged her back in 1985 when she was a 17-year-old aspiring actress. Bowman was one of the 13 Jane Does in the 2006 trial against Cosby. Joan Tarshis - Tarshis claimed that she was just 19-years-old when Cosby drugged and raped her twice in Hollywood back in 1969 while she was working as a writer for him. Janice Dickinson - The supermodel said in an interview that Cosby asked her to come to Lake Tahoe and talk about a television role in 1982, but ended up drugging and raping her. Tamara Green - Green, who first came forward in 2005 told MailOnline that she was an aspiring actress in the 1970s when Cosby gave her pills and pretended to care for her while she had the flu, but instead sexually assaulted her. Therese Serignese - Also one of the 13 Jane Does, she says she was 19 when Cosby drugged and raped her in Las Vegas after one of his shows. 
 
 'So who cares? Why not why tell the truth. I didn't tell even him (Lou), eight years ago when that woman came out (Andrea Constand).' 
 
 'And I didn't think my husband needed to know. He's a jealous Italian and he adores me and he always has, and he's not going to stop now. 
 
 'I have no reason to do this except my own reason. Bill said he won't talk about it. 
 
 'I want to address every woman in America to come forward so this sort of thing doesn't happen again. Any woman who was hurt by this man needs to stand up and speak out against the insanity with the lawyers and the abuse. No more. No more. 
 
 ''And I was a girl. Every since I was a young girl, starting at the age of five, it was okay. Men were trying to touch me or molest me. 
 
 'I didn't expect all of this. I told my husband, "All I want to do is tell somebody," and he said "Why?' and I said "I want every one who has been touched by this man to come forward." 
 
 'I'm coming forward. I want to be one of those women. One more nail in the coffin.' 
 
 'One more nail so he never does this again to anybody! And I'm going forward. I have nothing to gain by it. 
 
 'And guess what? I have nothing to lose from it either, so why not tell the truth? 
 
 In an interview on the John and Ken Show, Carla says Cosby lunged at her and forcefully kissed her at a party when she was just a teenager - and his wife was home. 
 
 Speaking with MailOnline after the interview, she said, 'I feel so bad for these women. I was the lucky one.' 
 
 He responds: This as Cosby has recently said he has 'no comment' about recent rape allegations 
 
 'I feel so bad for these women. I was the lucky one.' 
 
 She added, 'I mean 'lucky' in that he didn't harm me. It harmed me emotionally all my life but he didn't physically harm me.' 
 
 Meanwhile, Cosby finally gave some response to these recent allegations in an interview with the AP on November 6, saying he had 'no response' and 'no comment.' 
 
 With his wife Camille by his side, he then asked that that section of the interview not be shown. 
 
 Prior to Serignese's claims, Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis and supermodel Janice Dickinson all came forward in the past few weeks to publicly say they were drugged and raped by Cosby. 
 
 Cosby has never been convicted on any of these charges. 
 
 These allegations are already having a major impact on his work however, with Netflix postponing the airing of his new comedy special, Bill Cosby 77, which was due to air the day after Thanksgiving, and NBC pulling the plug on a comedy project they were developing with the Cosby Show star. 
 
 Cosby has also had scheduled appearances on talk shows including The Queen Latifah Show and Late Night With David Letterman cancelled in the wake of these allegations.
– The Incredible Hulk was feeling pumped up this week—but with IV fluid, not testosterone-induced rage. On Wednesday night, Lou Ferrigno posted on social media a picture of himself wearing a green hospital gown (naturally) and hooked up to an IV in a medical center in Santa Monica, Calif., noting he "went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep." The 67-year-old actor implied someone administered the shot (apparently a vaccine, USA Today notes) the wrong way, warning others to "keep an eye on who's giving the shot and make sure they not only swab the spot correctly but that you watch the needle come out of the package." Although Ferrigno didn't say what shot he received, People notes that, per the CDC, there are two types of pneumonia vaccines, both suggested for older adults and one of which can produce swelling at the site where the shot was given. All appears to be well now with the star: On Friday morning, he tweeted a picture of himself hanging out with Rocky actor Dolph Lundgren and others at an MMA event the night before in Los Angeles. (Ferrigno's wife was one of many who lobbed accusations against Bill Cosby.)
