I had a flu shot last Wed. about 9 am at a CVS drugstore. I noticed that I felt the injection more than usual--both the needle and the serum. I went back to work and all was well until the middle of the night when the pain in my arm woke me up. It's been 12 days now and my arm is still hurting. It seems to be worse at night when my arm is inactive but never goes completely away. Lots of pain when I lift my arm up to shoulder level. I've tried a heating pad and taking motrin and also aleve. I am beginning to worry that there is more to this than I originally thought. I've never had this problem before from the flu shot and I do think the shot was given much higher on the arm than usual.

If anyone has gotten any relief I wish you would tell us what you did that helped.
