A few years ago I received the flu shot. Within a few days I was in severe pain and could not lift my arm. To make a long story short, after an MRI, It showed a tendon was almost completely torn in my shoulder from the injection. It was not the flu shot but an error in the way it was administered. I’ve had to have 2 cortisone shots in my shoulder which really helped, but the orthopedic said it really needs surgery. Get an MRI as X-rays and ultra sounds probably won’t show the damage. It took 2 months to finally get a diagnosis.
