It is amazing how long this thread has kept alive. I, like everybody else, had a shot (doesn't seem to matter what it was for, but mine was the seasonal flu vaccine) and within an hour I was in serious pain and within 2 hours I was unable to move my arm at all. That was on October 14,2009. My arm still hurts, I am still unable to sleep on it, I am unable to lift anything over a pound with that arm and if I should move it the wrong way.... screaming is the immediate reaction. 6 months and nothing seems to help. Is arm removal an option? lol After reading 75% of the postings I am going to try taking an anti-inflammatory of some kind and heavy does of vitamin B (I have read several medical sites that say vit B helps the nerves heal) just in case this is nerve damage of some sort and home version of physical therapy. Six months of this and it's not getting better... something has to be done. Unfortunately I do not have health insurance and money is very tight so going to the doctors to do a variety of tests isn't possible.
