January 2, 2009, I was in the hospital for a work related injury and was given a shot of Demerol (spelling?) for pain and an anti nausea shot. Well it is over two weeks now, since the shots, and I am experiencing the same pain as everybody above. If I dont move my arm, its fine...but if I lift my arm shoulder height or reach across my body, the pain is almost unbearable. My co-worker who was in the ER with me when I got the shot said that it looked like the needle bent when the nurse gave me the shot, but who knows. I've been on pain meds and out of work, since the injury, so it wasn't from me doing anything strenuous. I started taking advil instead of the pain meds prescribed to me and thats when I started to notice the pain in my ar. My work injury had nothing to do with my upper body, so the only thing it could have been was/were the shot(s) I received.
