I had a flu shot in early October and it hurt immediately and bled. My shoulder hurt for at least 10 days where undressing was painful and I had trouble sleeping. My doctor emailed to use heat and ibuprofen and the pain did subside, but never fully went away when I did certain motions like undressing. Just a couple of nights ago, my shoulder hurt enough to wake me up in the middle of the night and I emailed my doctor who said she wants me to have an x-ray to rule out that the needle didn't break. That's when I found this site. It's been a month now and while the pain is less, it's still there. I'm hesitant to get an x-ray, but curious if anyone else was directed to get an x-ray. I have had flu shots for over 20 years and never had this kind of pain.
