Pneumovax 23 vaccine

[nadean8]

I received the Pneumovax 23 vaccine June 27 2014. Never had any problems with my shoulder untill I received that vaccine. About 3 hours after getting the vaccine I experience the most painful pain ever I could not move my shoulder it would go into spasms. Went to Dr they had me get MRI of my shoulder.come to fine out the shot caused me to have frozen shoulder, bursitis and tendinitis. Had physical therapy. Know I can move my shoulder I still have problems with my shoulder. If I use my arm my shoulder gets hot feels heavy and hurts real bad. Bad part I'm right handed and that's my right shoulder. Know it's been over year still have problems received cortisone shots in my shoulder already had bout 10 shots. Dr say they need to go inside my shoulder to see what's going on .Anyone experience anything close to me from getting a vaccine? I think it shame I'm experience this pain in my shoulder from getting a vaccine. I wish they never gave it to me. Crazy part I was in hospital for having c-section they gave me shot before I left the hospital
