Dalton, I hope this is a short-term problem for you and the pain subsides soon. Thanks for the info and keep us informed. I was planning on getting one this year, because I had no adverse reaction to the shot last year. It was my first shot since TM. We had five deaths in our area last year and I turned chicken and got the shot.
