Symptoms: Asthenia, Immediate post-injection reaction, Injected limb mobility decreased, Mobility decreased, Musculoskeletal pain
Clinical narrative: The FLUZONE vaccine was injected into the high deltoid muscle of my left arm, while I was seated at the request of the intern who remained standing. It felt like the needle passed through two different densities of tissue, an odd and different sensation from any previous vaccination. Also unlike any previous flu shot, pain and soreness were immediate. The following morning, my left arm was very sore, stiff and hard to move. There was no redness, no swelling, and no apparent change in the appearance of the shoulder. After three months of no improvement with heat, ice, a prescription muscle relaxant (that the pharmacist requested from my family doctor) and a variety of NSAIDS, I made an appointment with a shoulder specialists at orthopedic clinic that led to an X-ray (negative), a cortisone shot, an MRI (full-thickness tear in the rotator cuff), and physical therapy sessions. None of the treatments were helpful for long, and the shoulder has continued to become weaker, less mobile, and remains painful. Surgery is planned for early January, 2015.

Also unlike any previous flu shot, pain and soreness were immediate. The following morning, my left arm was very sore, stiff and hard to move. There was no redness, no swelling, and no apparent change in the appearance of the shoulder. After three months of no improvement with heat, ice, a prescription muscle relaxant (that the pharmacist requested from my family doctor) and a variety of NSAIDS, I made an appointment with a shoulder specialists at orthopedic clinic that led to an X-ray (negative), a cortisone shot, an MRI (full-thickness tear in the rotator cuff), and physical therapy sessions. None of the treatments were helpful for long, and the shoulder has continued to become weaker, less mobile, and remains painful. Surgery is planned for early January, 2015.
