Symptoms: Drug administered at inappropriate site, Injected limb mobility decreased, Musculoskeletal pain
Clinical narrative: I began having significant left shoulder pain the evening after my vaccine.   The pain continued and limitation in ROM secondary to pain.  I self treated with Motrin for about a week, which eased some of the pain. I stopped taking Motrin as did not want to stay on this for lengthy time period.  I continued to go to exercise classes and participate as much as possible for my shoulder not to lose more mobility.  I have continued passive ROM for motions in which active ROM is not possible.  This has now gone on for over 6 weeks and I continue to have pain and limited ROM am seeking advice from an orthopedic shoulder specialist and have an appointment later today.  I believe that the vaccine was administered incorrectly, above the correct site.   The pharmacist who administered was in a standing position, and I was sitting during the time of administration.   I do not know the needle length that was used.
