Hello! I am hoping someone is having this similar problem as I am from the Shingrix Vaccine ( 1st dose ) I am at wits end and have been super worried and have lost my appetite! I had my 1st Shingrix shot back in August (2022) It is the only vaccine where I have suffered the most problems. covid, flu, etc..just sore, tired and a temp, that was it..not this one! After getting the shingrix vaccine I had a burning sensation all down my right arm that lasted for a few days after. Also my lymph nodes swelled up under my arm and now in November (2022) I am still experiencing underarm pain in my axilla/tendon/muscle region. There are now twinges of pain under my arm and along my muscle below my shoulder. On a scale of 1 to 10 it is about a 3 sometimes. I feel it everyday and am taking over the counter pain meds to help. I also remember the person giving me the vaccine really high up my arm almost a smidgeon below my right shoulder. Sometimes I feel like my skin is causing me the problem but I do feel the twinges in my axilla area and it is swollen. Did the vaccine cause me to have tendonitis or lymphangitis or whatever? I am hoping it goes away and wondering if another vaccine will hurt it more? I need them in my right arm as I am left handed! I am seeing someone at a Minute Clinic at CVS hoping they can help me on Friday..please advise,,thank you!!

Hello @tristy, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you had such an adverse reaction to the Shingrix vaccine. I only had the usual sore arm for a day or so. Have you discussed the adverse reactions with your doctor or reported them to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) - https://vaers.hhs.gov/?
