What Causes Pain In Shoulder, Elbow And Arm After Getting Shingles Shot?

I also had a shingle shot a few months back, and right arm and fingers hurt. Today, I could not throw a ball because of the shoulder, elbow and hand hurting. This was not present till a week or two after a knot and Hugh rash appeared at the site of the shot. Could it have damaged my muscle or caused some form of arthritis?
