Additional information: Caller states she got the 2nd shot, she didn't want to get the vaccine but everybody was in her ear and she was like ok. States that on the 19th she got her 2nd one and ever since then she can't even tell there are so many things wrong. Caller relays she had left shoulder surgery in Aug2021 and has been going to physical therapy and has been making a lot of progress. Caller states that now she can't lift her left arm, she has excruciating pain. Caller provides that started yesterday, that it can't get any worse, any way she moves it it feels like there is an impingement, she doesn't know how to explain it. Caller states it's bad, that she had made so much progress for this to happen and she can't do anything and she is like oh my God. Caller relays that she and her physical therapist are close and he was like you need to go to urgent care and she said no there are crazy people there to see if they have Covid and she is just going to wait and see and the next day then her hand goes numb and her ankles are still very swollen. And she took her blood pressure and it's normal and she has normal salt intake and is not a big salt person and doesn't eat a lot of foods with salt so she doesn't think that is it. And she had a rash on her hands and the tops of her feet that started like 3 days after the 2nd vaccine. Caller states her ankles are super swollen and her hands are swollen and they have been that way since the next day after the 2nd vaccine and her right hand is numb and painful and that started the day before yesterday and that is now gone, it went away 24 hours later. Caller relays she does have neurological and has to have a full nerve conduction test and possible cervical spine surgery which she doesn't think she will do. Caller states she has not had numbness or tingling since seeing her neurologist a few months back and her hair is falling out like crazy, she noticed that yesterday. States she has thick, beautiful hair and it was overnight and she doesn't know if one goes with the other. Caller states she has an appointment to see her surgeon that did her shoulder surgery but she had come so far and now she can barely move it. And with the swelling and rash she also has blisters under her left arm, it was so painful and she was like squeezing all over her arm like what the heck. States she has 2 big blisters and it's all red underneath. And she called her pharmacist and they said to call Pfizer and tell us what she is experiencing.  Patient Details: Caller states she is about 5 foot 2 and a half. Caller states that she was 200 pounds before physical therapy and now she is down to 169 and she can hop on her bike and is almost up to 9 miles now. And she feels like she is falling apart at the seams now that she is 50. And she called the surgeon and will see him Thursday, she wanted to see him today but he isn't it and was told that someone would call her and her physical therapist wants her to come in and see him also. Caller relays she is in extreme agony and he wants to look at it and she has a feeling he will tell her to go to the ER. Caller states with her left arm what is weird is that she alternates twice a week with ice and heat. States she texted a picture to her physical therapist this morning and he said it looks like burns and she uses a heating pad but it auto turns off after 20 minutes and she had it on medium heat so there is no way she has blisters the way she does and she is not able to move her arm for anything. The adverse events did not result in emergency room visit or physician office. The patient did not had any other vaccine prior to (within 4weeks) of vaccination (and  she  never had the flu shot and doesn't want it ) and did not reported any adverse events prior to vaccination. Caller states it's so bizarre she had come so far with her recovery with PT and now the pain is so unbearable she can't stop crying, it's really shitty. And she didn't even want it and her primary was mad at her and she started crying as she was scared as she doesn't feel they know enough about it and just don't know. Caller states what is very sad, one the girls she used to work with her husbands friends wife she had her left side of her face paralyzed and she couldn't shut her eye to sleep and she has to tape her eye shut. Caller states how crazy. States she doesn't know if this was reported and she doesn't know enough to report on it. Caller states her friend said she's not getting it. And she is regretting getting it with so many problems she is having since her 2nd one and she is scared. States her hair, not for nothing but it's her pride and joy, it's beautiful thick red hair and her ponytail looks like a pathetic little reed. And she lost her hair on Saturday and today is Tuesday. States she noticed it Saturday and it was ok and on Sunday she felt like it was thin and yesterday she kept running her fingers through and it was coming out in handfuls. Caller states she is scared to wash her hair, that when she washed it on Saturday it was coming out in crumples and she does dye her hair every 6 weeks but never ever has it done this. States her hair comes out like normal in the shower and this was abnormal.  Follow-up attempts are completed. No further information is expected.
