Probably no one will believe this, but my frozen shoulder is the direct result of receiving a flu shot in my deltoid. There have been many cases of this happening to other people as well. It is thought that possibly the injection is too high up and the vaccine has gone into the joint capsule. Some soreness is normal after the vaccination, but in my case it has been 8 days after the shot and I cannot lift my arm and am experiencing severe pain when I try to use it. I saw an MD yesterday and he diagnosed me with frozen shoulder. I will never get the flu shot again! I am a swimmer and very athletic and now cannot even work.

I am 30 year old lady. After the birth of my son (10 months back) I felt pain in my shoulder and because I have to carry my baby, the pain got intense. The pain is in the front upper joint in the right shoulder, though now the other shoulder is also affecting. The symptoms are pain, stiffness, and loss of range of motion of the shoulder. The shoulder range of motion is limited when either me or the examiner attempts to move the joint. To add I live in china (basically from Pakistan).

I, too, had been given a flu shot at my workplace by a male student nurse in training. He injected me too high in my left arm. I am suffering from frozen shoulder diagnosed by my doctor. I am in excruciating pain and only hope I can get well. The flu shot injection was given in October, 2012 and as of June, 2013, I can't sleep at night due to severe pain. I'm living on Aleve and physical therapy in hopes of returning to normal. My out of pocket cost even with health insurance have run into a substantial amount of money and my bills are continuing. Never will I ever get a "free" flu shot at my workplace. I'll go to my licensed doctor. My doctor tells me he sees about two "bad" flu shot cases each year. This is not a joke-it is for real. I hope my experience will help others and caution people to get their flu shot in a medical doctor's office.

I had a full-thickness tear of my supraspinatus tendon due to an auto accident. It was repaired under surgery. I have since had a recurring frozen shoulder. I have had it manipulated and done many blocks of PT. Has anyone else experienced this after rotator cuff repair surgery?

I am a 54-year-old male. I got my first-ever flu shot at the end of November of 2012. The injection site was sore the next day, got worse slowly, and increased to limit my range of motion without pain. Now, five months later, I'm doing some PT for "frozen shoulder." It's not helping much, but I never did lose any real strength, just in certain motions. I won't be getting any more flu shots.

I fell after my dog ran into me. I grabbed the fence to avoid falling on my face. By holding the fence all my weight landed on my right shoulder. I developed a full thickness tear in my right rotator cuff as well as frozen shoulder.

I am 68 years and I weigh about 70 kg. I developed shoulder pain about two months back when I experienced uneasiness during sleep. I also noticed a pain in the mussels of the same arm while twisting my hand to hold or move something. My doctor diagnosed it as frozen shoulder as well as cervical.

I developed a frozen shoulder several years ago. t came on very slowly and at first I thought it was bursitis. However, it only got worse until I couldn't move it at all. Doc sent me to physical therapy and after 2-3 very painful months of therapy, it returned to normal. Never give up hope.
