My cat Happy is doing better after his cystotomy. Long road ahead to make sure he stays healthy. My physician diagnosed me yesterday with rotator cuff syndrome/tendonitis, which she feels since it developed right after the flu vaccine was caused by the flu vaccine. She was unaware that they added 2009 left over volume into the 2010 batch. She did share that two of her elderly patients that got the double dose strenght flu vaccine ended up with terrible arm pain as well. She recommended the excercises I had already found online so this doesn't progress to a frozen shoulder - pendulum arm swings, finger walks up the wall standing facing the wal and then standing with your side to the wall, moving you arm behind your back to try to gently stretch the muscle. She also gave me a presciption for Mobic 7.5, to take at bedtime, but after I read about the side effects, I don't know if I want to take it. If I don't improve she is going to refer me to a orthopaedic doc who specializes in shoulders. She also said not to overwork the arm because it could get more inflammed and to try ice. The infection control nurse at work was able to get on the CDC website and report it. You need to know the lot # as well as the manufacturer.
The pharmacy had the mfg. info. Hope this helps some people out there
