Symptoms: Activities of daily living impaired, Bursitis, Drug administration error, Immediate post-injection reaction, Injected limb mobility decreased
Clinical narrative: I received my seasonal flu shot as I do each year. The injection was immediately painful, much more so than I have ever experienced but I did not think much of it. My left bicep, from the moment of injection was intensely sore. I chalked this up to the normal discomfort accompanying the vaccination, though definitely noticed it was a more severe reaction than I had ever had prior. The pain has not persisted, unrelenting for 3 weeks and has significantly impacted by range of motion, ability to lift, bear weight, or even perform simple tasks like brushing/washing hair, turning my car steering wheel, etc. After 2 weeks of constant pain, I saw my primary care doctor who prescribed Naproxen 500 mg. After 5 days of Naproxen, no relief was experienced and I sought care from an orthopedist. The orthopedist made a preliminary diagnosis of shoulder impingement syndrome/bursitis and administered a cortisone shot. I am awaiting to see if this provides and relief, but thus far, I remain in constant pain. In researching this, I have found SEVERAL message forums, medical discussion boards, etc. where other individuals are reporting this same type of experience following receipt of the seasonal flu vaccine. For many, the pain has persisted for years, or even led to surgery. This is a SERIOUS side effect but may be under-reported or not taken seriously by patients who seek medical attention. I URGE someone to please look into this matter. It likely has to do with improper vaccine administration, and not the vaccine itself. I am so so concerned that I am going to endure this pain for a long time to come, or face surgery. I have a toddler who I am not even able to pick up due to the pain associated, and it is even difficult to just sit at my desk. This has also severely limited my physical activity, which is devastating as I am an extremely active person who exercises on a daily basis, 7 days per week.
