I fell for anyone having this experience, but it's comforting to know I'm not the only one. I got my flu shot about 5 weeks ago and am still having pain from my shoulder to my elbow when I move my arm certain ways (especially lifting the arm to my side). It almost feels like the pain is down to the bone. I sleep on my left side (which is difficult if not impossible right now), and the mornings can be really bad.
When I got the shot, the pharmacist had to force the plunger, even after trying a new needle. Neither of us had had this experience before. Does anyone know why this might have happened and if it will go away? I've been reading that perhaps the shot was giving too high on the arm.
