Expectant management: Joint pain/muscle pain are common reactions to have after a flu shot. Sometimes even a flu is a common reaction. Guillain barre is a rare complication of vaccinations that is more likely to involve weakness and loss of function of some of your muscles due to a nerve disorder, this usually begins in the hands and feet and moves inward; it does not seem like you have guillain barre. Highly unlikely.
