Your symptoms sound very similar to mine when I got my shot in 2009. You should find out the batch number and the name of the manufacturer of the flu shot that you were given. The following link from the CDC website may be helpful for getting more information on the flu vaccination: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/index.htm
You can also call the number on the website to inquire about the vaccination you got and describe your symptoms, as they keep track and will call you back if they have further information. I found out that I was vaccinated by a bad batch of the vaccine in 2009 manufactured by a particular company. It took six months for my symptoms to get better on their own, but in the interim, my husband had to help me get around as I couldn't walk, or change positions, from sitting to standing or vice versa, on my own without losing my balance or experiencing excruciating low back pain. It was a frightening experience, but I did get better. I am not sure if it has had any long-lasting effects, but do see your healthcare provider if your symptoms persist. Good luck.
