She states it's difficult to determine exactly how painful her mother's arm is because of her limited cognition and ability to describe the pain, also states that at times the mother will refuse to use her arm and other times she will use it as if there is no problem. Her mother does have a pacemaker and defibrillator and the facility was advised of that before her mother had the Covid 19 vaccine.

She's assuming since she had received the Pfizer paperwork that she and her mother had received the Pfizer Covid vaccine. Patient asking why her arm is sore and with her age and her dementia a few years ago her mother wouldn't have been complaining. She would have been different. She would have thought that her arm soreness was just part of the vaccine. Now reporter is concerned. She just wanted to call and check because her mother keeps holding her arm. Yesterday she put ice on it and she doesn't know if she should have done that. The caller reports she tries not to take her mother out because of Covid 19.

She did have a reaction to an antibiotic during that time. reporter doesn't recall the name of the antibiotic.
