jenny mccarthy wants your kid to get measles: autism, vaccines, and stupid idiots

I'm still 1000% pro-vax, but beware careless jabbers -- my wife got shingles shot #1 a couple of months ago and the jabber placed it too high on her arm, getting her in the tendon instead of just the muscle, so now she's got SIRVA/tendonitis and is in constant low-level pain. A course of steroids brought down the inflammation and gave her pain relief for a few days but that was only temporary, and she's going to PT for six weeks which ain't gon' be free. When they're swabbing you pre-shot, take note if they seem to be higher up than just deltoid.

jesus christ!

I'm sorry to hear this man. A close friend of mine had the SAME thing happen. He was getting caught up on his shots, and IIRC his doctor said the nurse who usually did it for him was out, but he said he could do it for him and messed up. He's better now, but it was a slow recovery.

yeah, I had a shot that aggravated stuff in my shoulder, hurt pretty much all last year, ended up in PT for a couple months. It's better now, but not 100%. I don't think it was strictly caused by the shot, it was a preexisting injury that only started to hurt after I got the vax.

I've been reading up a bit on SIRVA and it seems to be very underreported/underdiagnosed. I wonder how many problems cited by antivaxxers are badly placed jabs misunderstood to be something else.
