I received my flu shot for my 3rd year, on Nov. 12, one month ago. The previous 2 years I had really bad arm pain that lasted maybe a week. This year the nurse gave it to me in my dominate right arm and she told me to make sure to exercise it (which is why she prefers to put it in the dominate arm). This year my pain only lasted a couple of days. BUT..... the pain came back at the beginning of this week and is worse than ever. The last 2 nights I haven't slept at all. (I sleep flat on my back with my arms at my sides, same as I have for decades). Ibuprofen has helped a bit. Why would the pain come back after being gone for 3 weeks?
