You can't catch the flu from getting the flu shot. That's not how it works.
The MRI was done 3 months after the shot was given and still showing ( I hadn't had a prior MRI), as stated in the report, "marrow like edema" of 3cm by 2cm by 1.5cm, slight bursitis and periosteal fluid around something. Would it be normal for there to still be that much edema that far out, as I have maintained staying active? After the MRI it was easier to convince people that there was something wrong and they huried me back in for bloodwork to rule out an infection.
Shouldn't the flu shot be given pretty painless in the shoulder and only stay sore a couple of days? Will I ever get the use of my wrist and fingers back?
I was sitting on the couch and the pain spread to my legs, it was extremely hard to bare. I had a flu shot this year, for the first time ever by the way, I hear it is not 100% protection, but this, "sickness," attacked my body, and almost nothing else, like nothing I've ever felt before. The winter has been very cold and dry and people are telling me I need to drink lots of fluids and that will help.
I've had both. And I'm fine. Flu shot hurt more than the tdap shot.
i recieved a flu shot from walgreens on sept. 21,2011 i forget the exact time but within two days i could not lift my arm. i went to dr office 13 days later and recieved a cortisone shot in my glute. it relieved the pain for five days. the pain returned and i followed up with an internal medicine dr which had me get an mri. the results were(findings) -"the ac joint is well maintained. there are a few subchondral cysts seen involving the lateral humeral head measuring 8mm x 7mm in size.
t blame the shot. It is a myth that you can catch the flu from the vaccine. According to Amy Arbogast, a CVS pharmacist in Indianapolis, Ind., the injectable flu shot contains viruses that are inactive -- literally dead viruses. "Because flu season typically coincides with cough and cold season,people may mistake cold symptoms for flu systems."
3. One and done. Unlike last year, you only need to get one shot.
Yes I've read that flu's and colds are viruses and cannot be treated by a doctor ultimately.
I do think I will just wait it out. I'm just shocked that of all the symptoms that remained it was the aches and pains that stayed. I've never had that occur. It's always the cough, the sore throat or the runny nose that stays, never before have I had the aches and pains be the last remnant of the sickness.
Oh well.
but honestly, as a healthcare professional myself, it drives me nuts reading stuff about how people got sick from the shot. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to get the flu from the flu shot. It is a DEAD virus. However, you can have a reaction to the actual injection and sometimes that will cause flu like symptoms but it is not the flu! Okay, so done with that rant.
I honestly do not get the flu shot myself when I'm not working because I dislike shots.
Maybe I can get some kind of answer here. It started 2 weeks ago I had the stomach flu real bad. A week later a vertigo spell and light dizzy spell ever since. Then a week ago small pain in left side that is worse at night and in morning as well as empty stomach.It comes and goes feel sick at times.Now the big problem is I have anxirty disorder so a small pain can turn into major thing.
In October 2011, I had my first Flu Shot. Since that time I've experienced arm pain that is so intense I get physically sick to my stomach. I've seen the doctor 3 times regarding this situation explaining that I can't raise my arm upwards, can't move it backwards and can not reach across my chest. Any sudden movement creates intense pain. I've been ask repeatedly if I insured my arm.
