She also stated that nobody seems to know what has been going on with her. Her shoulder and neck had gotten worse and was scaring her. All the pain was in her right arm, where she received the injection. After the pain started, she started experiencing tingling in her left hand and fingers as well. The tingling was ongoing for several months as well. She stated that may be the vaccination provider hit a nerve while giving the injection, but she was not sure. She said that the physical therapy seems to help with the pain in the shoulder and neck, as well as the tingling in her left hand and fingers. She did not experience it all the time,  the pain came and went. However, the injection site pain was there no matter how much therapy she got and no matter what she was doing.
