Is it normal for my arm muscle in my shoulder to hurt 2 weeks after flu shot?

I received my flu shot 09-13-11 in which my pains started that night. I also couldn't raise my arm up, to the side or back & could not sleep. After 4 cortisone shots, physical theropy, MRIs, 3 Ortho doctor opinions I finally had arthroscopic surgery on February 21, 2012 . My MRIs showed small tears in tendons, tendonitis, & bursitis. When my surgeon went in, he decided the tears didn't need repairs (very small) & had to break up my frozen shoulder (which MRI didn't show) and take care of bone spurs & clean out around the deltoid & bursa area. This procedure was the only thing that worked for me. The shots & theropy before procedure did nothing. I needed to do 8 more weeks (3 times per week) of theropy after the procedure. I can finally sleep at night (with exception of a little pain while on left side). I have almost all of my movement back & will continue to do theropy at home to get rest of it (doctor said it could take a year). There is newer set of minutes from a meeting dated March 8, 2012 in which the Dept. of Health & Human Services is tring to add this shoulder injury (SIRVA) to the Vaccine Injury Table. I am going to call HRSA to see if this injury was added & if it was I will be putting in a claim as should you. If they add this injury it will be as follow... A vaccine recipient shall be considered to have suffered SIRVA if all of following apply: No prior history of pain in shoulder prior to vaccine, Painn occurs 48 hours from shot (they may add a day to that), Pain & reduced range of mothion are limited to vaccine shoulder (they may make it that pain started right away & the limited movement days or week later), No other condition such as brachial neuritis or any other neuropathy. They also mention injection may cause deltoid bursitis, tendonitis, rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, adhesive capsulitis & shoulder bursitis along with the pain & reduced range of motion.

I just came home from seeing a heart specialist - because the pain is similar to a heart attach - pain down the arm, shoulder, back and chest. I had an ekg, chest xray, and stress test - all came back normal. The surgeon feels the pain is nerve and muscle related - I told him about the flu shot and that I got it almost in my armpit and he didn't poo poo the idea. Actually, he said that area has a lot of nerves. I truly think he thinks it is from the shot, too. I will never have another one, and this is coming from someone who swore by them. Good luck to all - this pain is horrible.

Did you check ''brachial plexus neuropathy''? it's caused by flushots and it's listed on evrey single flu serum pamphlet as a known reaction. Also bpn can take many years to resolve. Constant shoulder pain followed by muscle weakness and loss of motion.
