Most if the symptoms have disappeared but the back pain has not. Is not bad but i feel my back still a bit sore and bothersome when I sit. Anyone feeling weird symptoms after the flu shot?

Answer

It’s normal to feel a little bit of pain in your arm and even a little achy or like you have a cold.
The flu shot doesn’t give you the flu or make you sick.
It also takes up to 2 weeks to kick in, so if you get sick right after getting the shot, you already had something before getting the shot.

To be honest I have gotten them for a long time. I worked in the medical field and at nursing homes so they generally required it... this year I got mine (on Tuesday) and I've been feeling so unwell. First day I had the usual sore arm and then the next day (Wednesday) I woke up to a headache, extreme fatigue and body aches. Then Thursday I woke up feeling like I had the flu (yes I am aware it was not the flu) body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion, cough, no appetite and nausea. Friday night I was experiencing the same symptoms and was burning up along with having hallucinations. I woke up this morning just feeling sick thankfully the fever is gone and the symptoms are manageable. This years experience was awful...

I’ve never really had any bad side effects from the flu shot. I do it every year but this one really messed me up. Especially the back pain.
