I too have shingles 10 days after the flu shot. It started with pain in my underarm and elbow and then chills and achy feeling 3 days later, next my spine started tingling and it moved down to a horrible pain in my hip and leg. They were very painful for a week and then the blisters started all over the hip, leg, and groin area and the pain has subsided except for the burning of the sores. The doctor says it is shingles. I am on an anti-viral med, advil, cream, and pain pill to sleep for a few nights. I have had a broken wrist and it was nothing like this. I will never take a flu shot again. Last time was 5 years ago and my arm was paralyzed for about a week so I was scared, but I got worried and folks at work told me they probably just hit a nerve. Yes they really hit one this time. Flu shots are dangerous and there is no telling the side effects people have and don't even know the flu shot caused them. And like other folks I had a complete physical two months ago and everything was great!
