11/14/12 I was given the flu vaccine by a nurse at my corporate office approximately 30 minutes from my office -off site-. After returning to my office, I became weak, disoriented and immediately went to my desk and sat in my chair. Upon sitting, my back seized up, spasms, then severe cramps -much like back labor- and then sharp, shooting pain ran from the right to the left side of my back. Immediately following those pains traveled down my left leg thigh then went to the right. This lasted for about half an hour. I left work and went home, took muscle relaxers and slept on and off for the next couple days. However, the sharp, shooting pain continued and woke me from my sleep throughout the day and night. I suffered a headache similar to a spinal headache. My eyes were also sore and hurt, no drops even touched those symptoms. I also suffered from lightheadedness. There has been no medication, treatment that has touched my pain or even managed my condition. I have a rash on my left that developed two or three days after receiving the vaccine. This rash goes into remission and will redevelop. I've not had any of these symptoms prior to the flu shot, all of this has occurred because of the flu shot. My main symptoms and/or complaints are the pain in my leg and my back. It is documented that I have three bulging discs that have developed since the vaccine; L3. 4. 5. There are days when I struggle to walk because the pain in my left leg is debilitating; however, it is intermittent.
