Anon,

We're so glad you found us, too. No, this is not an isolated event. So many people (especially women) have reported this kind of pain after the flu shot that it feels like there must be a connection somewhere.

Anon, do you remember where exactly in your arm your shot was given? Apparently the ideal place is about the width of three fingers down from the shoulder.

Do anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, for instance) help your pain at night?

Please come back and tell us what your doctor says. We're very interested.
