To everyone who is having severe (much more than usual) pain in their arm that started within +/-24 hours after their shot for a vaccine and who continue to have pain weeks later, please see a physician. If with MRI or other imaging study, you have bone edema and/or a partial tear in the rotator cuff, it is possible that the provider administering the shot placed it too high and missed the deltoid muscle. You are not a hypochondriac. This condition has a name --- Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and has been recognized by the Institutes of Medicine. Please see the following journal article by Atanasoff et al:
"Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA)," Vaccine, Volume 28, Issue 51, Pages 8049-8052, S. Atanasoff, T. Ryan, R. Lightfoot, R. Johann-Liang
If your condition continues longer than 6 months, you may be able to receive compensation for your actual and anticipated future medical care costs, any lost wages due to the injury, and payment for pain and suffering from the US Federal Court of Claims (the Federal Vaccine Court). Please speak with a vaccine attorney approved by the court. Check out the following link to the court: http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/vaccine-programoffice-special-masters
At that court's website, there is info about filing a claim and a list of approved attorneys. I hired Maglio, Christopher and Toale and was extremely pleased with the professional manner in which they handled my claim to the court.

Good luck to all......do not let your physicians tell you you are imagining that the injury is due to the shot. They just don't see this often enough to know about the research and the courts recognition of this terrible injury.
