I too got my flu shot at Walgreens. The pharamcist gave me the shot way high up on my arm, almost to my shoulder. At the time it didn't hurt, but it's month later and I am still having pain at the injection site and in my shoulder. As long as my arm is hanging down by my side there is no pain, but if I lift it up at all, there is pain. It also wakes me up every time I roll over on it at night. This is crazy that so many people are having the same problems. I really think they have not been properly trained on where to give the shots. I have read from others that the pain is there for a long time.....I hope I am lucky and it goes away soon!! Nasal Mist for me from now on! Who can we contact to complain other than Walgreens? Apparently they are not listening!!
