What Causes Thumb Pain After A Flu Shot?
I had a flu shot at the end of September. Shortly after I thought I had strained my right thumb. The pain was off and on. A couple of weeks later, the same thing happened to my left thumb. About 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, the side of my right foot began to have pain. Sometimes the second toe on each foot stings. Right now my arms and legs feel tingly. I ve tried ibuprofen and Aspercream, but they didn t help. I called my doctor the Monday after Thanksgiving, when the foot pain got worse and I have an appt. for Dec 13th. With this new tingly skin symptom, I m wondering if I should try to get in on Monday.

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
