Flu jab arm pain

Anyone else experienced arm pain weeks after flu jab?

I had mine about a month ago and my arm still aches.

Yes, I have the same. It doesn't bother me day to day but it's definitely there when I move my arm in a certain way, I notice it in the morning when I'm putting my bra on and the way my arm moves then. It's a real deep muscular ache which doesn't seem to be going away. You're not alone.

Nope. Mine lasted a day or two then was back to normal.

Yes, same, not all the time just in certain positions.

Yes me too. I've been having the flu jab for decades but this is the first to last this long with any pain/discomfort.

Where about does it hurt?

I had the COVID vaccine and because of poor placement it caused bursitis in my joint.

It only hurt it in my shoulder, when I rotated the shoulder or when something jarred me (e.g. speed bumps, pot holes)

You need to follow the post-vaccine advice you were given. It should only last 24-48 hours so if it's longer you need to be seen. If you had it privately, go back to the provider. If NHS, speak to your GP surgery.
