just asking what side effects you have had and how long after jab did you get side effects, I am supposed to be having mine Tues morning but have a full day after that planned for Xmas shopping and lunch, just a bit worried in case I feel bit off.

So interesting to talk to someone else going through what sounds like the same thing, although I'm also sorry you're going through it too. I also had X-rays to check for bone issues, but all looked OK, so I think they're now looking at the rotator cuff? It's been nearly a year of pain for me so far, and I'm hoping there is some kind of cure out there...

The specialist checked me for rotator cuff as well. No issues. If yours doesn't show anything, ask about impingement in the shoulder. I could not lift my arm without pain. It hurt like he!! to put on my bra. I could only do two snaps. Pain was extreme. I'm now taking Meloxicam 15mg. That with the bands is starting to feel better. I can actually put on bra with just a little pain. Can you put the effected arm behind you or lift above your head without pain? I couldn't. Pain was too extreme. Sorry you are dealing with this too. Specialist says more to do with the needle placement rather than the vaccine.

I had nothing whatsoever. If it hadn’t been one of my nurse colleagues vaccinating me I’d have thought I’d been injected with plain water. 😂

Just had both covid and flu jags a couple of hours ago. Told the nurse/HCP that I had severe D+V that night and the next day after the last one and wasn't sure if it was a bug or the vac and she says it was most likely the vac as she had the same last year and this year too so don't be surprised if it happens again and to get something in just incase.

So I've gone to the chemist and they gave me some Loperamide, but if it is anything like last time there is no way I'll keep them down long enough to take effect! 😭

Interested in this thread?

All I had was a massive bruise because the guy who jabbed me really stabbed me hard and hit a vein. No other symptoms at all.

Just a sore arm. It seemed to work because the rest of my family caught it and I didn't despite not being able to isolate from them.
