Vaccine: FLUX(H1N1)
Symptoms: Asthenia, Burning sensation, Chest discomfort, Chest pain, Chills
Clinical narrative: When H1N1 Flu shot administered (in left shoulder), immediate pain in arm. Stinging, burning, and sharp intense pain mainly around injection site. As time elapsed, pain worsened and spread from injection site down arm to fingertips and across pec. muscle/chest. Arm felt heavy, as if dead or asleep. Tingling down length of arm, feeling of weakness (but not actually weak), and extreme sharp, throbbing pain, which radiated out from injection site. Approximately 2 hours after site was administered, pain had spread and worsened to chest/pec area, leading to intense chest pressure and pain. Slight trouble breathing, due to intensity of pain. Use of Tylenol did not relieve pain, but found that inactivity (and immobilization of shoulder) helped to ease chest pain and help with breathing. Attributed reaction to possible hitting of nerve during administration of shot (mother is a RN).    In following week, pain in shoulder (aching, burning, sharp intense pain) continued. Still have feeling of dead or heavy arm. Numbness and tingling. Pain continues to radiate from injection site out, down to fingertips, but chest pain has gone away. Additional symptoms include fatigue, runny nose, cough, body aches, chills, low grade fever, blurred vision (occurred off and on for first 3+ days), bad headache, and sore throat. Was given seasonal flu shot month prior. Have been getting seasonal flu shots for several years. Never have had an adverse reaction to the seasonal flu shot; only have had the normal side effects such as: sore arm, slight fever, and body aches, and those have only lasted a few days at most before clearing up.    No treatment has been given yet. But will be visiting doctor's office soon, should pain not subside within the next week.
