I just googled "recent flu vaccine induced arm pain" and it brought me to this site. I have most of the complaints listed, including, difficulty getting dressed, especially over-the-head hooded sweatshirt, toweling after a shower and trying to flat iron my hair. Hard to find a difficult position to sleep. Can not lean on left elbow. Tried heating pad and Advil with no success. Radiates down forearm and into neck. The nurse who administered the shot has given it to me for years. Did not hurt at the time of the vaccine, hours later it began to hurt and the next day, I felt like a had a stroke and couldn't lift it. Still hurting weeks later. I didn't know if I should rest it or work it. Looks like I better work it so it doesn't end up being a frozen shoulder. I tried to report it, had trouble at the site. Thank you for you post.
