Got my 18th or so flu shot in sept 2011 & had all the awful pain everyone on this site is talking about. GOOD NEWS!! I started taking Aleve 2/3 times a day (recommended dose is 2, but pharmacist told me I could take 3) and wow, it's almost completely healed! Chose Aleve b/c all this reading brought me to the conclusion that it was due to inflammation and Aleve is made just for that and Advil isn't as strong. I'm sure the DR could prescribe a stronger one, but he's the one who gave me the shot!! Next year, getting it in my butt, if at all...So posted so everyone might see this..pay it forward, you know?
