I am having the same problem that everyone here is describing. I got my flu shot on Oct. 15, 2010 and ever since then my left arm/shoulder has hurt, my range of motion is severely affected, and I can't lift much of anything anymore (it's difficult to lift a gallon of milk, I can't open the window, I can't get my sports bra off easily). Very troubling since I have 3 preschoolers and I need to be able to lift them and take care of them. I went to the doctor in November and he gave me 6 Celebrex pills. They helped a little bit, but of course I only had 6 then they ran out (I don't think you can keep taking them forever anyway). I'm not sure what to do next. The phamacist at the Kroger where I got the shot submitted an adverse reaction report. I'm not sure what to do now. It makes me so disheartened to think that I might have this pain for the rest of my life.
