While receiving my flu shot the nurse asked me if I was tensing. I answered, no but I can feel that you can't push that all the way in. She then just pushed harder. As I ran the flu clinic (work) I was around for most of the day. She even asked me if it hurt that afternoon. Next day it felt like a normal flu shot pain. The day after that I started having pain that ran down my arm into my fingers. I had/have trouble lifting my arm above my shoulder. I saw my primary on 10/8/25 as it seemed way too long to be experiencing pain. She gave me steroids (Prednisone 10 mg for 5 days) which made the pain dull. Shortly after the pain became worse. Tylenol and Ibuprofen wouldn't touch the pain. I couldn't even type at desk level with my left hand due to pain and weakness. I went back to my doctor for my annual on November 3rd. I complained again of the pain. She referred me to orthopedics. I was seen on November 6th by ortho. I had x-rays done, which showed nothing. The doctor used the physical push and pull tests several ways with my arm. He then stated he believes it is a torn rotator cuff. I am going tomorrow, November 11th for an MRI. I have a follow up with ortho on November 19th. Pain comes and goes but it's always there, just duller sometimes.
