Moved over to right side and right shoulder gripped like a wrench had it. Dr. treated with muscle relaxer first/anti inflammatory second. Neither worked. On day 4 called me with blood test results and said Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Gave me prednisone and was able to walk the next morning. I took the high powered flu shot 3 weeks earlier. I had my thyroid removed (only a goiter/no cancer) 4 years ago and am on Synthroid, but otherwise in good health. This was very frightening, as I had to be carried to the bathroom the last day. I exercise and eat right. The 20 mg dose of prednisone for the first week and 10 the next and then 5 is working for me, as I have no pain. I don't know what caused this, but feel I should report the possibility of the high-powered flu shot could have triggered.

Symptoms: Drug administered at inappropriate site, Immediate post-injection reaction, Injection site injury, Middle insomnia, Mobility decreased
Clinical narrative: Arm was tingly at time of injection, though that seemed normal. However, the the shoulder became strangely sore.  The shoulder soreness continued and worsened into the next day and onward and is still very problematic 5 days later. Arm is still tingly, but worse, shoulder movement is impeded by a dull pain and I am woken by throbbing pain during the night, even though I am not lying on that shoulder.  I was surprised at the location of the injection, which was very high on my arm, and have since read that can cause this very problem...SIRVA.  I am an extremely active and fit 50-year-old and this is a terrible consequence of a simple flu shot!!!  I am beside myself with fear that it will not resolve on its own and will interfere terribly with an active lifestyle which includes lots of tennis and exercise. I've not yet visited a doctor but will certainly do so in the upcoming week if improvement is not significant. I've never, ever had any weird medical issue, and this is incredibly upsetting.

Symptoms: Blood glucose normal, Dizziness, Hypotension, Unresponsive to stimuli
Clinical narrative: Prior to vaccine, patient had reported chronic weakness due to prior stroke. However, she said her doc wanted her to get flu shot, since there was no contraindications (no allergies and pt has been getting flu shot yearly). After giving flu shot, pt became unresponsive. She was conscious but not answering. I lowered pt to the ground and lifted her legs, and she became responsive. She was talking again. We helped her sit back up in chair, and she stopped talking again, so I had her lay back down on the floor. I checked her blood pressure, it was 126/62 (her normal). By that time, EMS had arrived and they checked her vitals. Her Blood glucose was 150 and her laying BP was 126/62. Pt said she felt lightheaded before. We had her sit up and checked her sitting BP, it was 80/50 (very low). EMS team questioned patient and asked her how many BP meds she is on (she said 3). She doesn't know if she took extra. We spoke to the patient and decided its best if she went to the hospital to find out why she has chronic weakness and adjust the blood pressure meds. Pt agreed to go to hospital. We will be following up with patient in few days to see how she is doing. The event is most likely not related to the flu shot; instead, it may be because of her BP meds and dosing.
