I am the previous poster who had the Tetanus shot that last posted on June 3, 2009 - 6:47pm . Just a follow up. Dr. prescribed it as tendinitis with an impingement and prescribed anti-inflammatory meds and physical therapy. He agreed that the shot was given too high up in the arm and most likely caused the inflammation. The pain is gone unless I manipulate it a lot, and I still don't have full range of motion. Doc said these things usually clear up in a year or less with repeated physical therapy and use of anti-inflammatory, or else cortisone shots are next on the list.....so we'll see!
To the anon that posted on July 27, I suggest getting an MRI to see what is really going on if you haven't already. Good luck and good health everyone!
