" I had a ruptured disc in 2013 that caused back pain and peripheral nerve damage but I don't have daily back problems. After getting the vaccine, within about 5 hours, the nerves in my left leg from the peripheral nerve damage started firing and my back was in so much pain. I couldn't lay on my back and I had to lay on my stomach. I was getting close to having weakness in my ankle. The pad of my foot was swelling, all on the left side is pretty much where I have that issue. I went to the urgent care and I went to the doctor. I was sent back to physical therapy but I am still having back issues. I was doing well and was as recovered as I could be prior to getting the vaccine. The problems were more or less resolved before the vaccine. After I had the vaccine my blood pressure was elevated and my lab work was off for a month and then they went back to regular. The reporter stated that she got the 1st dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine back in April and states she had a bad reaction in her back and has a ruptured disc there and after she got the vaccine she got a wave of nausea, pain in her peripheral nerve on the left side and could not sleep on her back and had to sleep on her stomach; states she did go to urgent care and also her doctor's office. The reporter stated her symptoms began about 5 hours after she got the shot and states her back pain is ongoing and she guesses better but it is ongoing and she had no back problem anymore until she got the shot; states the nausea was pretty brief and is not ongoing and states you know if you have morphine or something like that a wave kind of hits you and that is what it felt like during that wave. States she then started feeling her nerve firing in her leg and she did not know what to do with herself and knew it was a bad sign; states the nausea resolved that night of the vaccine but the leg nerve firing is ongoing and she has peripheral nerve damage and as long as her back is not aggravated she manages and if her back is bad the nerve damage is ongoing every day. States she does not know if this may affect this but she lives in the desert and it was really hot the day she went and got the vaccine and they did the test of taking her temperature for covid before you enter the facility and her temperature was running high from the heat and not from being ill and she was not ill but the heat was making her temperature high and maybe the lady did not administer her vaccine properly. States she has the back injury that occurred in 2013 and this just reignited the back injury. states the nausea resolved that night of the vaccine but the leg nerve firing is ongoing and she has peripheral nerve damage and as long as her back is not aggravated she manages and if her back is bad the nerve damage is ongoing every day. States her question is that she only got the first dose in April and not the 2nd dose so if she chooses or needs to get the 2nd dose she just wants to find out the protocol since she got the first dose and it was 6-7 months ago. There was a man in physical therapy at the same time I was who the same thing happened. He had gotten his second Pfizer shot and he had had back surgery 20 years ago and he could barely walk because it had caused so much pain and swelling after he received the shot.
