I want to tell you about SIRVA -- the result of bad needle placement in vaccination. [View all]

Here is the medical article.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6347325/

And this is my experience. Five weeks after flu shot, I am still having debilitating pain in left shoulder. I recall at the time of the incident the tech (not a nurse but a floating lab tech at the clinic) came up from behind me and evidently did not feel for the right spot.

I have had a bad experience with this tech previously -- she had to stick me three times to find a vein about a year ago, and then did not send the sample for the proper test the doctor had ordered.

Anyway...... This is something you do not want. It's affecting my sleep, and everyday movements. It may or may not go away. Not a bad idea to caution someone who is about to poke you to be sure to find the right place and trajectory.
