I recieved a flu shot on 10-02-10 fairly high on my left deltoid. Four days later, I awoke with a stiff neck and a twitching left upper eyelid. The next day, The stiffness had moved to my shoulder, armpit, and upper chest. It felt like the muscles were really sore and tight. Since then, the pain has moved down into the whole arm, and I have numbness in my index and middle fingers, which has seemed to have gotten better in the last week, but is still there. At random times, I will get tingling down the arm into my hand. My work place sent me to a workman's comp physician, since I had gotten the flu shot through my workplace. She has since released me, saying that she doesn't think it was from the flu shot, but she didn't think that I should get a flu shot again next year (?).
So, my question is, do you think I should see a neurologist? It does seem to be getting better and the eyelid twitching has stopped. Is there any harm in waiting another month or so? I have a high deductible insurance plan and I'd hate to spend $5,000 for something that might get better with time anyway.
Thank you for your time.
