Symptom narrative

Per patient: I received my flu shot at the clinic in the hospital and have been experiencing severe pain for the past two weeks. During the vaccination, I was injected twice. The first attempt failed due to a crooked needle, and then a second injection was administered to deliver the vaccine. The injection was also placed very high on my shoulder, near the shoulder joint. Within two hours, my arm became very sore and sensitive. For the following four days, I was unable to move my arm, struggling to drive, get dressed, and was working with only one hand. While the soreness has slightly decreased, I have not regained my full range of motion and am still in a lot of pain. I am still waking up in the middle of the night due to the pain, I continue to experience pain getting dressed, reaching to grab items and doing daily talks such as driving. The pain has become more significant in the last day, and it feels as if I have torn something.
