When did it start?: That is important, so we can correlate the timing of events with the pain experienced. Was it related to the flu shot being given, or was it just in that area? Did you just get injected, or is this ongoing? Need a little more history to help determine how to best answer your question fully. Please let us know .Thanks!

Bursitis?: Of course we can't diagnose it from here, but that could be bursitis. If the pain is bad enough that you'd accept treatment for it, see a doctor. If it's not that bad,don't bother.
