Symptom narrative

When the nurse practitioner gave me the flu vaccination, it hurt worse than any shot I've had and she has given me several shots over the years. I told her that and she said to just keep moving my arm which I did. Within a day or two I had tingling and numbness in the back of my arm, my side and my little finger and ring finger on my left side where the shot was given. When she gave me the shot, she grabbed the area at the top of my arm very hard and held it while stabbed me with the needle. I have reported this to the pharmacy. and I have talked to the nurse practitioner who gave me the shot. It is very slowly improving, but I can't drive without causing the tingling and numbness. and it keeps me from doing several normal daily activities.

Lab data

I have a referral for an EMG test, but I want to avoid having that if possible since it can cause further nerve injury.
