Last month I had a flu shot. I haven't had a flu shot since I was 18. The only reason I did was because I didn't want to get the flu and spread it to my dad who is suffering from lung cancer.
Anyway, that night my shoulders were sore and two days later it was still sore and my under arm was puffy. I called the nurse and asked about this and she recommended I see my doctor. She had never heard of this happening before. I went to the doctor and she ordered a mamogram and told me to monitor the lump. After a week, the swelling went down and I felt relieved. But then I receive a notice advising me to follow up and the reason stated was: Adenopathy. I had never heard of this before and I looked it up. I was surprised at the little information one could find about this.
Is anyone familiar with this? BTW, my mamogram came back fine.
Cheers, Cathi

Were both shoulders sore or the one where you took the shot? I've never heard of it before. Prayers for your Dad Cathi. How is he doing?

re: the flu shot. i heard on "the view" last week that people who are allergic to eggs should not have the flu shot.

my husband had a flu shot some years ago and it made him sick as a dog. He later learned he's allergic to eggs and figured that was why.

Thanks for the responses. Wow Chatty, I looked in webMD before and didn't get all this information.
Seek, I am not allergic to eggs and I read everything carefully before I had the shot.
Chickadee, it was only the shoulder I had the shot.
Even the doctor I saw said she never heard of this side effect before. I asked her if it was possible if the problem has been there and the flu shot triggered the soreness and swelling. She said it was. If that is the case, then the flu shot did me a favor, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was there.
I am trying to get in for a follow up, but it is difficult to see your regular doctor this time of year because of the Holidays and vacations, etc... I am going to have to try to go next week sometime.
Sorry to hear about your Husband Dotsie and what he went through.
You too, DJ.
Thanks again.
Cheers, Cathi

Hey Jabber, I figured as much and I wanted to explain the reason behond my username. Before I came in as Optimumsteps and it served it's purpose at that time. But I wanted a new start and this is what popped up.
Cheers, Cathi
