Vaccine: PPV
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Mobility decreased, Pain, Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: Lasting shoulder pain like bursitis or rotator cuff injury.  This causes a limited range of motion with the affected arm. Initially after the injection, reaction was normal with little pain, but pain increased over the following days and continues (now 5 weeks after injection). It hurts to extend the arm to put on t-shirt or pull a sleeve on; it is painful to lift or carry much weight with left arm. I have had a lifetime of vaccinations and never experienced this reaction. In fact, I received a flu shot at the same time in my right arm, and experienced no reaction in that arm. The pharmacist giving the injection said that the shot needed to be administered "higher up" on the arm than the flu shot, and it was injected higher toward the shoulder.

Clinical narrative: My daughter and I attended a Community Flu Shot Clinic on the evening of November 11, 2020. I do not know which manaufacturer or variety of flu shot they used at that clinic.  I have gotten flu shots many times before without incident. I did remark to my daughter that it stung more than I remembered -- kind of a burning sensation during the injection and for for the whole ride home. I didn't have a noticeable reaction beyond that at first.  The next morning,  my arm ached. It felt similar to how a tentanus shot feels and there was a small red area tha looked like a mosquito bite at the injection site. I applied ice and took some bendryl and ibroprofen, per the instruction sheet I was given at the flu clinic.  By Saturday morning , I had a red patch on my upper left arm approximately three inches long and two inches wide. It was painful, itchy, and hot to the touch, with a hard lump under the skin about the size of a grape. My whole upper arm ached and it hurt to lift things or make a fist.  I called the Insurance advice nurse who suggested that I go to urgent care to rule out infection. I went to Facility and was told that it did indeed look infected. I was prescribed cephalexin - 500mg, every six hours for five days.   I am now on day two of antibiotics. The area is still red, hot and itchy but the pain has lessened and the lump seems to be shrinking in size. Ice helps.  :)
