I had my flu shot 3 weeks ago. I have had many shots over the years with no problems. This time I instantly felt pain going down my arm muscle. I had noticed the shot was given high up and to the back of my arm. My arm was not mobile for 2 days. I now have pain and limited movement with my arm. I tried icing, ibuprofen, icy hot patches, etc. I have had some relief especially at night, but each morning I exercise that arm and it seems to be helping. I have serious reservations about getting other flu shots in that arm.
