I got the Shingles vaccine a couple of years ago when I was at my doctor's for a check-up. Also got the pnuemonia vaccine at another visit.

My 98 year old uncle got the shingles in his left arm and it was very painful and cause to use lose use of the arm. He never complained about anything and for him to say he was in pain, it must have been excrutiating. That was several months ago and he is still in pain but I am not sure it's not from other maladies.

I'm sure am glad I got the shot and hope I never get this painful condition.
I sure hope everyone will not suffer too much from the shingles.
