I was given 2 shots (Tetanus and Pneumonia)three months ago as part of a routine checkup (why, I don't know, I was a 50yr old man in extremely good health with no history of pneumonia). A week later severe arm and shoulder pain began and I developed flu like symptoms. The following week I lost muscle strength in my wrist and fingers. During this time visits to the administrating Doctor got me nowhere, he ordered chest xray and bloodwork but insisted over and over that my problems could not be related to the shots. He finaly referred me to a neurologist who administered a EMG and immediately diagnosed me with Brachial Neuritus.
Question? Aside from the typical BP symptoms I've described above, I have also been having upper back pains and some tightness and pressure in my lungs, sometimes leading to severe coughing fits. I also find that my body develops fatigue very easily. The neurologist does not seem to find any coorolation with these symptoms to BP. Has anybody had similar problems? Also can somebody recommend a specialist in my area (New York City)Thank you.
