Prolonged pain after flu shot (as in 4 weeks and counting)

Tweet

I received a flu shot way too high on my arm. The site of the shot was at the end of my collar bone. The shot was more painful than flu shots that I'd had in the past and about 3 hours later I was having quite a bit of pain lifting my arm. The pain slowly edged down over the next 3 days, but was still uncomfortable to raise my elbow above my shoulder. It's now 4 weeks later and I'm still having pain. Typically it is a dull burning sensation in my shoulder. The more I do during the day the worse it gets though. Sometimes I get shooting pains through my arm and elbow and occassionally feel a dull pain in my hand (mostly my pinky and ring finger). I've used heating pads, ice packs when the pain is severe, over the counter anti-inflamatories, icy hot, tiger balm, flexall 454, icy hot patches, and thermacare patches. Some seem to help for a short period but obviously it hasn't gotten better. Has anyone ever had a similar reaction from shot that was too high on your arm (mine was practically on my shoulder)? I've got another appointment with the doctor. The first time I went the PAC told me that there was no way that I got a shot where I did and said that they wouldn't prescribe me any medication (which I didn't ask for in the first place). I am just looking for how to fix this problem because it gets rather painful at times to the point where I occassionaly have extreme discomfort lifting items that weigh more than 20 pounds.
