Pregnancy History- routine pregnancy (2nd child); vaccine administered at beginning of third trimester. EDD 2/19/18. Birth weight- 6lbs, 8 oz. I received the flu vaccine by a nurse of midwives practice. Immediately upon injection into the high left part of my arm (really, shoulder), I knew something was wrong. It wasn't the pinch of the needle, nor the normal soreness that follows the flu shot (I'd received fairly regularly in the past). It was an immediate, intense pain. Nonetheless, I still assumed that it would fade away. About three hours later, I was experiencing significant pain. My range of motion was decreasing dramatically. The weight of holding my arm up was becoming unbearable. Of course, I just figured I was having a strange reaction, and it would fade after a few days time. It did not. Several weeks later, after I was no longer able to use my left arm (my husband had to assist me with dressing, I was unable to drive, I could not do anything with my arm, including lift my 1 year old child), I contacted my provider, along with a general practitioner and an orthopedic doctor. All suggested using tylenol to limit pain. I am not someone to take medication when I am pregnant, but I was getting desperate and my life was significantly affected. Nothing helped. The GP suggested I go to physical therapy. I could not even begin to move my arm, I was not able to do exercises. I was not able to attend my prenatal yoga classes, either, obviously. After two full months of this symptom, I began to freak out wondering how I would labor for the birth of my child in this kind of pain that refused to go away. I decided to try a chiropractor that specialized in Active Release Technique. This is the first thing that helped me find relief. I saw Dr and Dr for treatment, and this is the only thing that helped me. I still see them for treatment because the pain relief is not permanent, and my arm flares up again at various points. I should note that I have zero injuries from sports or anything else that could be responsible for this; it was a direct result of the improper placement of the shot into my arm (too high and possibly too deep). This has been a serious drag for me that has cost me financially and affected my personal and professional life.
