Your thinking is NOTHING but close - it can be anywhere from 2 to 6 months apart.

I have received the Flu, Pneumonia and two Shingles Shots in the last several months. Mysteriously my right arm has virtually ceased to functionawitz. The pain on a scale of 1 to 10 is about 20. My doctor put me in with a specialist next week. The big question?? Could it be from what I would expect to be the Shingles shot???

I have a very high threshold for pain, sorta like The Duke but this is off the hook terrible. Whatdayathinkawitz! Welcome back! Glad you are OK other than the trip problemo which will work out!

Please don't say amputate at the neck like one of my lovely comedian sons said! Wonder where he got that from.
That would be NOTHING but my best guess of the 3, but it could be none of those as well. So hard to really identify. Good that you are seeing someone about it. I suspect the doctor's office is the one who administered the shots (or maybe not because shingles shots are often not) but regardless, whoever did give you the shots should be notified of your problem and they should report it. You can also report it yourself here -

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)

I'm so sorry that you are going through this.
