quick followup... my flu shot in Sep2009 apparently hit a nerve (very careless nurse obviously in a hurry basically just stabbed me with the needle), I had pain immediately and continually afterward, for about a year. It slowly started to get better about 9 months later and as of about Jan2011 (when I reluctantly got my next flu shot) it's all better.
I think passing of time and exercise is all it took. I did take NSAIDs (like Aleve) every day much of that year for the pain, I don't know if that may have helped, other than to ease the discomfort.
Good luck to everyone. (I made sure to clearly explain to the person giving my shot this year what happened last time, so he would be extra careful, and he was, and no problems.)
