I had the first Shingrix shot three months ago. I felt intense pain in my arm at injection site during the injection that made me almost cry. Three months later I still feel residual pain in my arm near injection site. If I raise my arm above my head I get muscle pain and weakness in my upper arm. Walgreens wouldn't give me the second shot because they were concerned about the residual pain lasting even after two months. I found another website with patient after patient complaining of long-term arm pain and wondering if the pain would ever subside. Some had gotten their shots a year ago, so surely there must be documentation about this! None of us were ever warned about such long-term, possibly permanent, side effects. I believe there is permanent nerve damage in my upper arm as a result of the vaccination and will not risk getting the second shot and having even worse side effects. I think I am OK with the Zoster vaccine I got years ago plus the first Shingrix. It is not worth it to me to suffer any further permanent side effects, especially not a worsening of peripheral neuropathy, which I already have in both feet and which makes me feel suicidal at times. I recommend everyone avoid any medications that mention peripheral neuropathy as a possible side effect (Ciprix antibiotic). The constant discomfort, burning, tingling, numbing pain, and the frustration of knowing that NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT will surely diminish the quality of your life. Since we were not told about this possible permanent side effect of Shingrix, it makes me wonder now that perhaps we aren't being told about any permanent side effects of the Covid19 vaccine either, lest no one be willing to get it. Unfortunately, we have to get it even if there are debilitating long-term or permanent effects.
