The same thing has happened to me. I got my flu shot almost 6 weeks ago now. Within 3 days my arm started to really hurt and then I started getting pain in my lymph nodes in the corner of my chest, and underarms. Pain in my back and in between my shoulder blades. I thought I was having a heart attack. I went to the doctor and they said it was stress and couldn't be from the flu shot. I insisted on tests and they sent me for a routine blood test, EMR(lymphatic blood test) and an EKG on my heart. To my surprise for the way I was feeling everything turned out normal. The symptoms seemed to subside for 3 weeks and then came back full force again. Pain in my lymph nodes, it feels like someone is punching not one but both of my arms, and pain in my back. I thought I was going crazy till I saw these posts. Other than a cold or the flu I was in perfect health before this stupid shot. My IBS after I don't know how many years had even cleared up, and now I feel like I am falling apart. I am walking around scared I am dieing because of all these pains I am getting everywhere but yet all tests say I am okay. If you have had any of these symptoms please let me know so I know I am not alone in this, because this is absolutely crazy. Oh by the way for the girl who posted above I had the same thing with the pain going up my neck and into my head, with pain radiating down my back, moving from my spleen to my kidneys to wherever it felt like going at the time. NUTS!
