First off, I want to thank you in advance & ANY advice would help me...I don't have insurance and that is why I am unable to see a physician/neurologist.
I am an intern at a hospital and signed a disclosure to receive the Flu Shot(w/H1N1). I received the injection in my right deltoid(near the intertubercular groove of my humerus) about 2 months ago. I never got the "flu" or sick from the injection, although I felt soreness the first week. After that, the pain developed into almost a Nerve pain when I lift my arm all the way up to the ceiling or flex my deltoid. It feels like when I move my arm up and inward, there is a great deal of pain.
I don't know what to do and I am scared that I will have permanent nerve damage or end up paralyzed? What is possible and what is not? I tried consulting the hospital/nurse that injected me and they said that I signed a disclosure and pretty much could care less. Recently, I've been working it out while I experience horrible pain doing so in hopes that it will possibly help. When I press on the area of the injection towards the outside(twds scapula) of my deltoid, I can feel pain as well.
Please advise....is this serious and what should be my next step? I am very concerned. Thank you.
