Flu shot

I got the flu vaccine on Saturday. Since then, I've had a burning pain in my upper right leg. I think it's a side effect of the flu shot. Muscle pain is listed as a side effect. What do you think?

Thanks!

I don't have the flu vaccine ; only the Covid one. But if your pain doesn't abate within two or three more days, maybe contact 111 for advice. I've found them more knowledgeable than my GP ! Hope it's better soon... x

Thanks Cat! Hopefully this pain goes away in the next few days.

Hope all is well!

I had the flu injection in November, in my left arm. I was told my arm might ache or be painful afterwards, so when I almost immediately got a strange sensation in my left elbow (like when you bang your elbow hard against something) I didn’t think too much of it. But the sensation hasn’t gone away. It’s not painful, just very uncomfortable. I’ve been having the flu injection for at least ten years and never had anything like this.

Hi,

I don’t chat on here as much as I used but your post interested me.

People who know me would know that I have NOTHING to do with the pharmaceutical industry, NHS and any doctors. Some would even go as far as calling me a conspiracy theorist, which in my book is actually quite extreme :).

But I think the problem you are having is most definitely a side effect from the vaccine.

I did used to get the flu vaccine myself but stopped after getting side effects each time I would have one.

I haven’t trusted vaccines for years anyhow of any kind (polio, flu, mmr) but after learning more about the covid vaccine I definitely don’t trust vaccines. You don’t need them.

I know I will get bashed for what I say but at the end of the day it is an opinion but a very wise opinion, I may add.

It seems like a lot of people from around the world have gradually lost trust in nature and put more trust in governments :(.

Hi, strange that you have pain in your leg, the vaccine is usually administered in the upper arm. Pain elsewhere is unlikely to be related. I'd have a chat with your GP.

If you feel it's a side effect it is. Don't be fobbed off by doctors. They make money off every jab and will lie and gaslight you. Many nasties in jabs. If in UK report to yellow card scheme and tell GP, in writing etc. Get it recorded incase of further problems. Check out vigiaccess.org/ for known reported side effects worldwide (of this and any medication). There are many. (Covid jabs' effects into millions effected so far, more than all previous 'vaccines' combined).I do hope you feel better soon and sorry you've been effected.
