Is it normal for my arm muscle in my shoulder to hurt 2 weeks after flu shot?

Sorry to hear there are others out there, but comforting to know I'm not imagining this. Got my vaccine Oct. 15th and am going to the walk in clinic today because I can't tolerate it any longer. Same symptoms, I cannot reach out in front of me a raise my arm shoulder height to up over my head without assistance from my other arm. I also cannot reach across my body at shoulder height to touch my other shoulder. I sure hope I am the exception since some of you have suffered for years before finding relief. Good Luck to everyone of us!! Has anyone taken action against the provider? How do I get this additional medical attention paid for? Someone mentioned a vaccine fund of some sort...what is that and how do I find them?

It is funny that no one has addressed the etiology of the problem. Mostly it is all symptomology. This is the diseased mentality of the American Medical Association. Isn't it a dead giveaway that one of the first texts a med student buys is the Merck Manual? Merck: a pharmaceutical tyrant that sleeps with the FDA and CDC and funds university studies and provides "educational" materials to the upcoming allopathic medicine practitioners.

One problem is the incredible rise in Guillain-Barre Syndrome. One of the links seems to be to the different adjuvants that are now in most vaccines which are supposed to magnify the effect or improve the transport of the viral toxoid (which is often a recombined genetic product that includes aborted human fetal DNA or animal DNA). It is possible that squalene was used in your injection which is common in shark oils and can be consumed as a food but is neurotoxic when introduced directly into the bloodstream. The vaccine is supposed to be intramuscular, but if the brachial plexus is hit, then it isn't in the muscle only but in the nervous system. So an injury can occur.

It would not hurt to have some deep tissue massage and trigger-release therapy. Also, chelation therapy through parsley, cilantro, chlorella or glutathione (good luck finding it) might help. Of course, any release requires lots of water to flush along with lots of fiber or bentonite clay to bind away the toxins so they are not reabsorbed.

The US Government and Military is aware of this, but they continue to implement the experiments which are (at least partly) producing unprecedented numbers of injured vets with depression, PTSD, suicidal tendencies, and numerous types of neuro-muscular degeneration and chronic disease, including rheumatoid diseases such as fibromyalgia, neuropathies, etc.

Despite how you feel, exercise and sweat lots while also getting good therapy and nutrition.

Received my "free" flu shot on October 1, 2012 and the pain started that afternoon - NEVER had problems with that shoulder before. I could not lift my arm or move it around without pain. A visit to an orthapedic surgeon on Oct. 11, 2012 resulted in clear x-rays and a steroid shot in the shoulder. Immediately felt better for about 2 days. Then the pain came back. he wants to do a 2 part MRI, but I can't miss work and I sure can't afford the thousands of dollars it will cost. I'm so tired of hurting. I don't know how some of you have done this for years. NSAID helps some as does Tramadol, but the first upsets my stomach, even with food, and the other makes me sleepy so I can't use them at work. I don't know what to do but sit and cry. Reading posts like these make me feel like there is no hope. Like this is going to be my way of life now.

I really appreciate all of these posts! I am a very healthy, 27 y/o female that went to get my annual 2 weeks ago. They asked about the flu shot, and I declined. Throughout my appointment, they politely kept pushing about the flu shot, so I caved. I thought, what could go wrong. I've been going to the same doctor for years, and I've never had an issue with shots before. I had the flu shot 3 years ago when I was pregnant with no issues.
Boy was I wrong! My arm hurts so much. I have very limited mobility - hurts extremely bad when changing clothes, picking up my daughter, driving, and much more. I love working out and was about to get back into the swing of it, but now I cannot lift weights. I wanted to start training to do fitness competitions. It's ruined my chances of going after dreams and playing pain-free with my child. This is ridiculous!
I cannot believe that there are so many posts about the issue on this and other sites, and they have yet to properly fix or address the issue, or merely even make people properly aware of it. To read a post that 5 women in one office received the flu shot recently and 3 had this issue... come on! For doctors to swear that a flu shot cannot cause an issue like this is crazy to me. I guarantee my issue came from the flu shot one way or another. I do not know if it was what was in the shot or how it was administered, but I do caution anyone looking to ever get the flu shot from now on.
I wish I did my research and stayed strong in saying no to the doctor and hope others will do that moving forward.
