Yes, this happened to me. I had surgery in my left knee years ago. It became very swollen, hot and painful after my covid vaccine and pain in the vaccinated arm did not go away after the expected two days . Had mild osteoarthritis in that knee for some time. After that my left arm and shoulder became stiff and painful and then it moved to right arm and shoulder.

I unfortunaately had a flu vaccine in my left arm without knowing my symptoms were PMR at the time. That vaccine esaserbated my symptoms. There is No Doubt about that. I am now on prednisolone and the left arm continues to be my worst spot. I did have a bad reaction to the flu shot. Had to stay home sick the day of Thanksgiving.
