Hey all my nurse friends, any suggestions?

I had my flu shot eight days ago and I had a reaction to the shot.  I think the reaction was to the injection itself and not to the vaccine.  I've had a flu shot every year for the last 10-15 years and never had ap problem.

I almost can't move my arm without terrible shooting pains and now the whole shoulder/arm/neck area aches and burns.  The shooting pains are a solid 9 on the pain scale and I normally have a very high pain tolerance.

I finally broke down and went to the doctor this morning since it wasn't going away.  He said there is no sign of infection/abscess (I knew that, no red/swelling/heat), but that the entire deltoid muscle was inflamed/hard/tight.  He said the surrounding muscles are inflamed in an effort to protect the deltoid from movement.

He gave me a prescription strength compounded topical cream analgesic/anti-inflammatory/steroid to rub over the area several times per day.  He said to continue the applications of heat like I have been doing.

Any other nurse suggestions?  I always figure nurses have the practical knowledge of dealing directly with the patient.

I can't even believe how much this has hurt.  It even wakes me several times per night :hit

ETA - he thinks it's either the muscle reacted to something in the vaccine or they accidentally nicked the nerve with the needle.


Cilantro is a chelator and will help you eliminate toxins. Put it in salads, soups, tea, eggs.
Ginger and Turmeric are helpful for anything - pain. Also chop these up and put into everything.
Goji berries are anti oxidants and also will help detox.
If you are looking for something more - PXP and HFI will go cell deep --- I sell these - pm me if you would like more info
