flu shot???

Question

My husband got a flu shot about 2 months ago and his arm is still very sore, especially on days when it is cold. Today he cant even lift his arm straight up but he never had this problem until this year when he got his shot. What's causing this and what can he do to ease it? Should he go to a doctor?
