Symptoms: Pain in extremity
Clinical narrative: Flu shot was given to me on September 30th, 2008 at the hospital. I am employed at this location as an administrative assistant in the Infection Control Department. Immediately, my left arm felt horrible, but I assumed the pain would go away. It has been three months and I am still in pain. Whenever I reach to my side to put on my seatbelt, I get a sharp pain. Hooking a bra or unhooking a bra is very painful for me. Any movement of my left arm brings horrible pain: pulling a T-shirt over my head, raising my arm the slightest, rolling on my left side to get in or out of bed. None of this pain occurred before the immunization was given. I filed a worker's comp claim with employee health and I have also visited my personal physician twice. After three months, the pain gets worse. My arm throbs continually, even  when not in use. I was advised by employee health to use wet heat on the area where the shot was administered. This gives me zero relief. Personal physician thinks nurse gave me the shot too high up on my arm and possible hit a bone or something else.

Any movement of my left arm brings horrible pain: pulling a T-shirt over my head, raising my arm the slightest, rolling on my left side to get in or out of bed. None of this pain occurred before the immunization was given. I filed a worker's comp claim with employee health and I have also visited my personal physician twice. After three months, the pain gets worse. My arm throbs continually, even  when not in use. I was advised by employee health to use wet heat on the area where the shot was administered. This gives me zero relief. Personal physician thinks nurse gave me the shot too high up on my arm and possible hit a bone or something else.

Vaccine: VARZOS
Symptoms: Abdominal pain, Laboratory test normal, Muscle spasms, Nausea, Renal pain
Clinical narrative: Received Zostavax shingles vax on 09/08/2008 in loose fatty tissue of RIGHT arm under tricep. Within two days onset of spasms in lower back, symmetrically in muscles adjacent to Left and Right side of spine immediately above belt line (waist) and just below rib cage. Spasms increased in pain to 8-10 level (10 pt. max.) over ensuing week. Pain spread throughout RIGHT side of back and throughout right side of abdomen, especially in (R) rear kidney area. 09/18/2008 severe pain plus nausea necessitate visit to ER. Interviews plus tests with personnel result in prescribing some muscle relaxers plus advice to take Ibuprofen. Arrange with PCP to take more lab tests in mid Oct. 2008 and visit in late Oct. 2008. Dr's examination concludes not shingles. "Try & see" for one month. Lower back spasms ebb away very slowly over period late Oct. to early Nov. 2008, but abdominal and kidney pain persist. Though kidney pain ebbs slowly away, abdominal pain persists at 3-5 level and PCP Dr. orders more lab tests and ultrasound exam in early Nov. Test results normal, but as of this report still have persistent RIGHT front abdominal pain. Conclusion: This is a VERY UNUSUAL first time experience for patient. Patient questions proximity of problems to shingles vax, "RIGHT" sidedness of everything (shot location and ensuing problems). Requests examination of still ongoing episode.

For a week and 2 days i was really sick from this vaccine. i went through a lot of pain with this. i was very numb all over and really i could not even hold my head up or could not walk. i lost almost the feeling of touch. my neurologist said i had all the classic signs of Guillain-Barre syndrome. i first went to the emergency room and Medical Center where i had an iv to run fluids in me where i was dehydrated from not drinking or eating from this reaction to the vaccine. they sent me to the neurologist from there. the days i missed at school impacted my grades cause i could not make them all up and i got F's for that six weeks which brought my GPA way down.
