Symptoms: Injection site pain, Pain
Clinical narrative: Patient complaining of severe upper arm/shoulder pain the evening after receiving her flu shot. She called the pharmacy ~2 weeks later reporting arm/shoulder pain had not subsided and was referred to her primary care doctor to see what was going on since injection site pain normally does not last for more than a couple of days. Patient described pain as so severe that she has been unable to lift her arm up without discomfort and has not been able to even sleep on that side of her body. After 4 weeks, patient reported that she went in to see her doctor and they were going to order an MRI to see if there was any lingering inflammation due to possibility of vaccine being administered too high in the arm. We are still waiting for patient's MRI results to come back but if they do suggest inflammation to be present, she will likely need an injection of Cortisone.

Symptoms: Herpes zoster, Rash vesicular
Clinical narrative: After I got the flu shot I had a very sore upper arm where I got the shot. Otherwise I felt ok. The next day I felt weak, tired and ached. No energy. That night I had severe pain in my neck and head. Pain that did not respond to ibuprofen at all. That Friday, Sat. and Sunday I felt like I had the flu. No appetite. All I wanted to do was sleep. At nite my neck pain was severe! I couldn't rest my head in any direction and feel comfortable. I was miserable!! Monday morning my husband took me to the Urgent Care. I was seen by Dr. He said I had very swollen lymph glands in my neck under my ears and along the base of the skull. He prescribed amoxicillin 500 mg 3x a day for 10 days. Which I have completed. Today Sept. 28, 2017 I still have slight soreness in my neck and I am still tired all the time. I feel I am slowly getting better but it sure took a long time for me to start to get well. If I had known I was getting a high dose flu shot I would have probably refused it. I have taken regular flu shots for many years and never had a reaction from them. I am afraid of taking another flu shot again. I'll discuss it with my Dr. next year. I hope no one gets a reaction like I did.
