Gotta love Flu shots!!
I was in a really good groove. Making good gains on my latest program. My buddy I am training has lost 8 lbs on a low carb/high intensity plan I have him doing. (Yeah I am mean but he is really liking it). So anyway I get a flu shot for the 1st time. Left Delt. By the end of the day I have a marble sized knot at the site. Next day my whole tricep/delt is like I have a bad sunburn. Can barely move my arm. GOD bless Benadryl & tylenol. Knocked out my reaction in a couple of days. Just frustrating since it really disrupted a good groove I had going.
If anyone has trouble with the flu shots - Benadryl! - had to do with the histamines in the shot. It counteracts the irritation. Just fyi!
