I have been posting on this forum. My last post was 11-24-09 @ 8:46 pm. To catch anyone up who may not know my situation I was given the flu shot on 10-2-09 in my right arm. Since that time I have had continual arm pain that has radiated to my neck and shoulder area. I had an x-ray that showed nothing and my dr. presribled pain medication. At one point in time the pain was severe but it is very slowly getting better. The pain I have now is at the injection site and goes deep. It feels like it is to the bone. At this point in time I have opted to not have an MRI done because that was the next plan of action. I decided this because I do have a very slow improvement going on. So, basically its a wait and see thing with me right now. I am still not happy at all that this happened to me and I will not be getting any further flu shots. I can't speak for others in this situation its a personal choice. I wish you all the best and I sincerely hope someone out there can figure just what can be done. From all that I am reading time is the best healer. Thanks to all of you for your posts and advice. I will post again soon to update my progress. ML
