I got the flu shot 2 weeks ago, and my left arm still hurts from the injection site to the elbow. I can't sleep on that side either, and I can't lift anything slightly heavy with the left arm (jug of milk, etc). It has never done this to me before, so I'm comforted somewhat to see that other people are also having this problem. I've worked on a farm lifting hay bales, so I'm not a wimp about these things, but I can't lift a hay bale with this arm now. I'm wondering whether I should go to the doctor about it, but I don't want another shot.
