It has been 4 weeks since my flu shot too and I have a lot of pain in my right arm. the shot didn't hurt at all but I am having pain taking coat on and off or just getting dressed. When standing and my arm is down at my side, moving my arm is very painful. In bed at night is awful. And I can't reach up to get stuff off a shelf or out of a cupboard. If a nerve has been damaged, can the arm be treated or is it something that will have to heal on its own? I am reading that this is a common problem after vaccinations. If anybody has had any luck in feeling better, please share. It is not an option to do physical therapy because I work 9 hors a day and cannot drive my car every day. I am in a vanpool so have no transportation during the day.
