Symptom narrative

This Flu vaccination was given to employees of [withheld], including me. No discomfort at the time of the vaccination or for the week following. By the end of the 2nd week, muscle pain had developed in the upper arm, and tenderness at the site. During the 3rd week, the puncture site opened up with very sore to the touch raw wet flesh about 1/4" around the puncture site, bruising around the puncture site. By the end of that 3rd week, nerve pain developed in the upper arm, sometimes radiating down the arm. Reported to [withheld], [withheld] Employee Health Nurse, on the morning of 11/4/25, who strongly suggested being seen by a physician at the [withheld] where I worked. I was seen by Dr [withheld] in the afternoon of 11/4/25 who believes it to be a deep hematoma. [withheld], Employee Health Nurse followed up with a call, suggesting heat compresses, inflammation and pain medications to relieve the symptoms while it heals. As of today 11/9/25, the puncture site has closed, bruising is gone, muscle pain and nerve pain are reduced but not gone yet.
