I finally saw a physical therapist this week. She also had NEVER heard of a flu shot causing such pain. She was happy that my range of motion was as good as it was. Keep your arm moving as much as possible. I too sometimes feel that others think I am making this up and that I am crazy! I am having an MRI on Monday, which I kept putting off thinking every single day---"it has to get better soon!"--And it hasn't
I also have come very close to contacting an injury lawyer, but again have decided against that for now. Costco has been notified about my flu shot injury and I have been talking w/ a representative from there about every 2-3 weeks. I told her I didn't want to settle UNTIL my arm was completely better. I do hope they will come through with some much needed compensation.
I feel most of the compensation should be for PAIN AND SUFFERING. I am a hairdresser and lifting my elbow to cut hair has been truly challenging. Fortunately, I am only working one day a week because of an illness this year. There is no way I could have been dressing hair 4-5 days a week w/ this arm injury! NO WAY!
