The girlfriend of one of my sons is a nurse and right now she is helping with the booster and flu programme (one in each arm. ) On Sunday she came round spitting nails about the person who did hers. "Far too high " she snapped "idiot!" Apparently if you inject anything too high up in the muscle it can trigger frozen shoulder. Too low there is also the risk of catching a nerve so its not just a matter of stabbing somebody with a needle.
The point of the post is that I recall a few people complaining about shoulder problems post their first round of injections and blaming the vaccine. Now you know it isn't the vaccine it is the idot that jabbed you.

I had a frozen shoulder which lasted for eighteen months as a result of a badly place flu jab needle. I could not raise my arm at all, its was painful as well as very restrictive.
I mentioned to my physio that the only thing i could think of was having had the flu jab he said its not uncommon to get frozen shoulder from a wrongly sited injection needle and i was right in my assertion. Incidentally it was a GP who did the injection not a nurse. That was five years ago,
I’ve got two frozen shoulders. Left arm pain and weakness started two days after my first AZ jab given in my left arm, right arm started two days after my second AZ jab given in my right arm. My symptoms? If I reach up for something my arm locks … I have to bend my arm at the elbow and twist it with the other hand to get it down. Otherwise I hear a click and get excruciating pain. I had a C-reactive protein test to discount common problems - the results were normal.
A week after my second jab I was diagnosed with shingles … the pain is almost gone now but I’ve been through over five months of hell. Possibly coincidence of course, or possibly some sort of physical trauma caused by the vaccine, which activated the dormant herpes zoster. Reported on a yellow card.
Do I regret having the jabs? No! But I wish the vaccinators understood how important it is to administer vaccines correctly. Which brings me to the subject of aspirating pre-administration … not even going there!
So glad the shingles is receding. There have been several reports of post vaxx shingles and herpes reactivations with all the vaccines but more with AZ and Janssen so it probably was the vaccine rather than the trauma of the injection. When I had my single Janssen jab the doctor did it in the fleshy bit round the back of the arm rather than the deltoid. I did not have any soreness in the arm at all.
Shingles is horrendous, never mind two frozen shoulders, you have had such a rough time. I had a frozen shoulder some years ago and after physiotherapy and acupuncture didn't touch it I had two steroid injections which made an enormous difference. Really pleased to hear the shingles is improving and hoping that the shoulders ease up very soon.
A 20 something person I know had their 2nd jab a couple of weeks ago and, funny enough (although not funny) told me she had the jab administered in her shoulder and she felt it painful to lift her shoulder afterwards. Why do some administers put it in the shoulder, when I thought it needed to go in the muscle area of upper arm
Dr John Cambell (1m subscribers on YouTube) favourite complaint about Covid vaccinators in the UK is when they jab you they don't aspirate (pull back the plunger) to confirm they are not in a vein, which can cause serious issues.
This is exactly what as happened to me. Two weeks after the flu jab I’m still in pain with a huge bruise almost right it the top of my arm. My wife went to a different cubical and as had no problems.
My wife has the same problem with her flu jab, very painful shoulder for several months, still not fully resolved now....what's wrong with the backside?
If you want to drop your pants in front of 100s of people in the queue , not a lot. Our vacc centre is just an open sports hall with rows of people armed with needles doing 100s an hour.
Unfortunately, with Dercum’s Disease (look that one up, not nice at all) they have to find a spot with no lumps to vaccinate. I have so many hundreds of the little and big blighters that this is difficult. I usually find a spot myself before going for flu jabs and point to it. I did this with the Covid jabs. My GP understands my condition and is always spot on with positioning the needle. If they jab me in one of the lumps the vaccine has no effect whatsoever. Instead it has an adverse effect on the lump, causing a flare and not only that lump but lots of the others then cause pain for weeks or maybe months…..
Well said Bob. My wife has complained more than once that they always inject too high. She is only short, and her are is therefore small in proportion and the target area is less, they don't seem to care enough.
The lady giving me my second vaccine in May injected in the very top of the shoulder. She blamed me for rolling my T shirt sleeve up too high!!!! Still have a painful shoulder and restricted movement. xxx
Wow.. I had months of shoulder pain after my first shot… I went to ER with pain it was so painful … I’m thinking could have well been the shot … must check on dates. !
Ended up with MRI that showed spinal stenosis .., maybe that was not causing the back/shoulder pain at all.
