On Thursday morning 10/15/2009 I went to the clinic to get the seasonal flu shot that I have been getting for the past several years as I have COPD. The time was approx 10:00AM. On Saturday 10/17/2009 I had been up early going to yard sales in the neighborhood and when I got back home at 11:30 AM and was getting out on my car and I had a sharp pain on the right side on my lower back. The pain progressed to the shoulders and back of the neck area. I had this same thing happen last year after getting the flu shot, and everyone keep asking me did I pull a muscle of lift anything too heavy and I could not explain it then. But this year when the exact thing happened after getting the flu shot I am convinced it is coming from the flu shot. When I looked up on line possible side effects I found GBS and I known it is 1 in a million but I may be that 1. Saturday night I was waked in my sleep with a severe Charlie horse in my left leg. Sunday and Monday I had knee pain in both but mainly in the right knee and pain in my leg hip joint and right knee is still hurting when I try to step up and it feels like it is going to make me collapse at times. SO today is Wednesday 5 days later and I am still having back pains and knee problems. I know I am more then likely have to go to the ER because it is hard to get into my Dr, and I do not have insurance so that is why I have not went to the ER as of yet but if the pain does not stop by Saturday that will be a week since the pain started and I will go ahead and go to the ER. Aspirin free EXCEDRIN, ALEVE and CELEBREX is not doing much for the pain. I will fax my additional information I receive from the ER to you.
