Aa
flu shot
I got my flu shot on Tuesday evening. About 10 minutes after the shot my right arm(where I got the shot) and my right calf area started feeling like numb. It still feels almost like Jelly, weak, numbness (weird feeling). What could it be?? Thanks
Hello there,
I agree with thatquietgirl's comments. I would definitely go back to the
doctor that gave you the flu shot for a follow up appointment. There
should not be a feeling of numbness almost a week later. You need to
be seen by the doctor who gave you the flu shot and asap. I wish you well.
It's probably coincidental that the time coincided as I've never heard of a flu shot (or any sort of vaccination) causing numbness in other parts of the body.
I'm surprised you didn't march straight back in with such a reaction as that's pretty alarming--especially since it's still continuing a few days later and you describe it as feeling like "jelly" and "weak." Get a doctor's appointment (go to urgent care if you have to) tomorrow to get it looked at. This is not something to ignore.
