Hi everyone. I hope someone might have some answers for me, or someone out there like me because I am getting very scared by what is happening to me. About 6 weeks ago I got the flu shot. 2 days later, the injection site really started hurting and then so did my whole arm, within 4 days my lymph nodes were severely painful in my neck, under my arms and my chest. That lasted almost 2 weeks. I went back to the doctor and they said it was stress but I insisted there was something amiss. They sent me for routine blood work, an EKG of my heart, and and EMR(lymphatic system), everything was normal. By then it seemed to be slightly going away. It disappeared for 3 weeks and now it is back again and worse than last time, and yet they say everything is okay. I feel like I am being punched on the sides of both arms, my lymph nodes are causing me pain again, and I am walking around scared something is wrong, but they are telling me everything is completely fine. The pain jumps around my body but this all started 2 days after the flu shot. Has anyone else had these complications. I know your lymph nodes go into overdrive to boost your immune system but this is ridiculous, and makes no logical sense. I wish I had never had that shot.
