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

I received a Hepatitis vaccine in my right upper arm almost 3 years ago now and have had terrible side-effects. Numbness in my upper arm, tingling, painful bending, muscle weakness, etc. This has been on-going. I went to the doctor and they wrongfully diagnosed it as tendonitis, which I do not believe for a second. I don't believe this because I had never had issues before, and then about a month or two after the shot I woke up in such pain I couldn't sleep and had to go to the emergency room, and it has been painful ever since. I am at a loss as of what to do. Pain pills prescribed did not help. It may be the ingredients in the vaccine, or that they gave the shot too high, or hit a nerve. Whatever it is, I wish someone could pin point it and get me on a correct treatment plan.

I suggest not getting the flu shot next time for everyone here. Look online at the controversy that surrounds the flu shot, its better for your body to just deal with the flu virus naturally. Do yourself a favor and spend the money that it would cost for the flu shot on a immune system boosting herb to take if you notice that other people begin having symptoms in the same area as you.

I am the anon above who had the tetanus shot. Went back to Dr. this morn due to excruciating pain in arm and stiffness. I had been applying heat but now Doc recommends switching to ice since there is some swelling that wasn't present before, and a continuation of taking an anti-inflammatory along with a pain killer. He wants to wait and see for at least another week what happens, since I am still having pain and he wants swelling to go down. There is a slight concern for Brachial Neurtitis which would present itself more significantly after pain subsides. He told me if there was any major change with more severe pain or any paralysis or numbness he would refer me to a neurologist. He said that sometimes it clears up on it's own, and doesn't require any further treatment. Hoping for the best.

I received a flu shot last fall and had immediate arm pain that was much more severe than previous years. The pain never improved, and in fact got worse over the following months. I now have trouble getting dressed because I can't raise my arm very high, and I also have trouble sleeping because it hurts to lie on that side.
