Earlier this year I reported severe arm pain from a flu shot last February. It persists and in fact seems to be worse. 8 months now. The pain is so bad I cannot sleep on that side, bend my arm behind my back or raise it above my shoulder. Sometimes I forget and make a movement that is rewarded with excruciating pain that slowly subsides. When I mention this to people they seem disinterested and often defensive, thinking I am attacking vaccines. I do not think they can know the sort of pain which I am trying to explain to them. The one person who has shown interest is a person at work who has put me on to a sports physiotherapist. I will try him to see if there is improvement. Regardless I will never have a flu shot again and certainly not while my arm is in this condition.
