Symptom narrative

I received the Shingrix vaccine on 2/27/26 at my local pharmacy. On 2/28, I experienced pain in my arm/shoulder which slowly progressed to severe pain when trying to move my arm. With my arm at my side, I could move my arm upwards, in front of me with some pain. attempting to move my up perpendicular to my side caused excruciating pain and I was unable to do so. As of Monday, March 30th the pain continued with very little improvement. I starting using a TINs unit on that day and now am able to move my arm more freely, however, I still am experience pain when I try to move my arm up from my side and still do not have full mobility without experiencing some pain. I saw my doctor on Monday the 30th and he stated he has never experienced this with a patient and is requesting I have an MRI completed.
