My husband has been in terrible pain for 3 weeks since his shot. I consulted a friend who is a RMT and she suspects that the Axillary nerve has been nicked. Amytriptaline or other tri-cycline antidepressants are supposed to help, so we tried that and the shooting pains stopped. (luckily we have an open minded GP who agreed with our internet findings!) The ache is still present and of course he is terribly sleepy. The good news is that at least he can sleep! He is being scheduled for an ultrasound but it may take weeks for him to get one.
