I am also having terrible pain in my arm since my annual, seasonal flu shot that I received almost 4 WEEKS AGO!!!! I have never had this happen with any other vaccine. I work in a hospital, so I had the shot given to me by my dept. nurse. I will admit, when she gave it to me, it hurt a lot more than it ever has. About 6 hours into my shift, I noticed that my arm started to ache, just like "normal." However, by the time I got home it was far from normal. The pain in my arm kept me awake all night long, and now, almost 4 weeks later, I can still barely lift my left arm up higher than my chest. I struggle to do normal, everyday things like wash & dry my hair, take off my shirt, or even sleep. I have no idea what to do. I plan to see my family dr. next week if it doesn't improve. Help please!!!
