I also used to get my flu shot every year (for at least 10 years in a row) with no issues or even soreness until Oct 2014 when I got my last flu shot. After the shot was administered in my arm; note the shot seemed to be given higher then the usual place, I also I couldn't move my arm at all for weeks. I could barely get dressed or sleep on that side. It took 5-6 months for this pain to go away completely and it went away very slowly & I still dont know what exactly caused the pain. Was it the flu vaccine itself or the way it was administered? I did report this on the CDC website and I encourage everyone to do the same if you feel you have been injured. I am not sure what is going on with all these injuries from the flu vaccine but I will never get another flu shot again!! I did go to my Primary Doctor and a Neurologist and there was nothing they could do other than tell me to wait a few months for the pain to go away, luckily for me it did. Good luck to you all that are experiencing this.
