This thread is very interesting. I also read the one started last year. It's comforting to know I haven't been imagining what I have been feeling. I have a similar story to everyone elses but with some small twists. I got my seasonal flu shot in mid September this year, like I have for the last 5 or 6 years, from an Aenta sposored clinic at my place of work. Never experienced any reactions other than mild discomfort. I don't recall anything unusual about the placement of the injection except that it did seem to be a little more painful than usual, but no big deal. I expected some muscle pain for the next few days as I had in the past. This time it seemed to be more intense and last a couple of days longer than I recalled from years past. The muscle pain did finally go away. It's had to say when the next sensation started because I didn't associate the feeling with my injection initially. It may have been a week later. I started to notice a tugging feeling at the area of my injection. At first, I thought I had something scratching me in my shirt or something stuck (like a splinter) in my arm. The feeling would come and go. As time goes by the sensation occurs more frequently and it feels more like my muscle is being tugged or tweaked. I rub the location and the feeling usually subsides. It's fortunately not a real painful experience, but it is annoying and troublesome. I hope it stops like some of the other posters have said their symptoms have, but lately the incidences seem to be more frequent. I'll be keeping an eye on this post to see what becomes of everyone with similar reactions. I just wanted to raise my hand and join the crowd.
