I posted earlier about gettng a flu shot on 10/21 and having the same pain . It's now 11/25 and I am noticing improvement in my arm. I can finally lift it up over my head. I still have some pain when i move it certain ways but it is getting better. I got my shot through our county health dept so I emailed them to report the problem. I think the problem is the shot being injected in the wrong place on the arm. In my case I'm sure it's inexperienced student nurses. Better supervision and training is needed. Do a search with the keywords "sirva vaccine" and it will bring up numerous articles about the problem. Here's hoping your pain subsides soon.
