Clinical narrative: Bright red, swelling, hot to touch; migrated down arm. Worsened over the next 48 hrs. Called my Dr. They said it was a "dermal shot" not injected in muscle. Symptoms worsened. Went to ER.-Dr. said it was a moderate allergic reaction. Prescribed Prednisone. It took approx 10 days to go down. 3 weeks later-still have a discolored "bruise" & can see the injection spot. Follow-up with Allergist; she said it was likely the preservatives and the fact it was not injected in the muscle. She said I must get a traditional flu shot injected in the muscle next yr and preservative-free. I had never had a flu shot reaction before.

Sex: M
Vaccine: FLUX
Symptoms: Arthralgia, Back pain, Condition aggravated, Hypoaesthesia, Joint stiffness
Clinical narrative: Gradual onset in the twelve hours follow vaccination of lower back and left hip pain and stiffness.  I think of this reaction as a "Flare-Up" of sciatica and lower back pain. I first attributed it to sitting at my computer desk for an extended period, but I was getting up and walking the stairs frequently.  By the next morning pain in lower back and left hip was so severe I had a hard time getting out of bed, with shooting pains, stiffness, and numbness in the left leg. The pain persisted to the point of throbbing until several hours later I retired to bed and slept several hours, which eased the severity of pain.  Walking was possible, but painful.  I spend much of the first day (Thursday) in bed.  The next day (Friday) I actually went back to the facility for scheduled tests, where I reported the reaction to my doctor's nurse. The pain seemed to lessen Friday evening, but returned worse on Saturday. I sit here on Saturday afternoon submitting this report with nagging lower back pain, stiffness and "hip pointer" pain.  I also today have had some neck stiffness and jaw pain.  I am a teeth grinder and have osteoarthritis in the cervical spine also. Is it possible that this is a reaction to the vaccine of my worn body parts resulting in a flareup?

Clinical narrative: Last Tuesday, I got my flu shot around 5:00 pm.  By 7:00 pm I had started to break out in hives.  The next morning it had spread pretty much head to toe.  Needless to say I had to take a personal sick day.  When I went to the doctor that day (around 1:00 pm) he said it was highly unlikely that you were actually allergic to the shot because the vaccine did not change much from the previous year (I have never had an allergic reaction to the shot before).  The cause of it probably was due to the fact you got a bad shot.  I asked him what that meant and he said it could mean a lot but one example was that the shot was left out too long.  I got a steriod shot and medication to help my body fight this.  That afternoon it did get a little better but around 6:00 pm it spread to my face.  Around 6:30 pm my tongue started to swell up.  I called my doctor and he said to get to the E.R. right away because your airway will start to get blocked.  I was in the E.R. for about 2 and 1/2 hours that night.  It got better after the I.V. they gave me kicked in. The following day I had to return to my doctor because I broke out in hives again that morning due to my body adjusting to the different medications I had been given the following day at the doctor and E.R. This is per the pt.
