Symptom narrative

It has been 7 days since my flu shot on 10/1/25. Since having my flu shot I have been experiencing tingling, numbness, stiffness, popping, limited ROM and pain in my left shoulder. When I try to move my arm out and stretch it, It is stiff and becomes irritated often causing twinges of pain in my shoulder area. My injection was given higher on my shoulder than I have ever had it before. The day of and the day after my shoulder was sore as to be expected, but it has gotten worse since then. I have been doing stretches, icing it, etc with no relief. I just wanted to make you aware that I feel it may have been the placement of my injection causing the issues. I have not lifted anything or done anything out of the ordinary for me. I hate to even bring it up, I was hoping for it to go away on its own, but it just hasn?t. I can't even sleep on my left side, so it was time to say something. I have not seen a medical professional for it. I am a nurse and have been trying to do some ROM exercises, stretching, NSAIDS, rice, with no relief.
