Clinical narrative: She had her vaccine, had severe pain immediately, like somebody beat her arms up, punched her in her arms at the location of her injection.  She has a Popeye arm when her main tendon from her shoulder to her elbow ruptured and there is nothing they can do to resolve it.  She has been doctors and specialists and there is nothing than can be done.  The pain was in waves from slight to severe pain.  Then her arms became painful everywhere.  Then she got a rash on both hands and both feet and swelling started going up her arms and legs.  Then the tendon ruptured in her left arm.  She has popping noises if she can move her arm, but cannot move them very much.  Every time she moves her right arm it pops and doesn't  know if the tendon is going to rupture or not.  The injection sites feels like somebody took a hot pocker and stuck in her arm.  The pain never goes away, has is 24/7.  The pain would previously go from bad to worse and would be there, but now it's a hot fire pocker all the time.  She tried to get the Lidocaine patches and creams on her arms, but did not help at all.    She had similar reactions with the other vaccines as well.  The first vaccine when she first got it had the burning feeling and dissipated, but in 2 weeks came back.  The 2nd and third vaccines had instant onset of the pain.  She went to the doctor after the first vaccine but could not give her any answers.  Then she saw Dr. about a month ago and he is the one that diagnosed with her lymphedema.  Two days ago she was speaking to a friend of hers that is a nurse and she informed her that there is are cases that have been reported to her where the COVID vaccinations are causing with peoples lymph nodes, and feels it's interesting that she was diagnosed with lymphedema, and now knows it was from the vaccinations.    In the past year she has been to her orthopedist, endocrinologist, dermatologist who told her to go to a cardiologist, went to that and did not know what it was, went to her neurologist who did not know what it was.  Also went to her pain specialist who did not know who it was, and her prior PCP before Dr. did not know what was causing her symptoms.    She now sleeps in a recliner and due to her scoliosis she only gets a few hours of sleep off and on, and really does not sleep much at all.  Her arms are so painful as she cannot bend her elbows for any period of time or it starts pounding in pain.  She may fall sleep but wakes up in 30 minutes due to the pain.  Her feet are also swelling.  Has a sleep number bed but cannot lie down due to her arms hurting immensely and feels like there is a football under each armpit.    Her PCP has not given her anything as of yet for the lymphedema.  He is trying to find out why she has the burning sensation in her right nostril.  Her nose runs all the time and looking into that.  She asked him for something for the lymphedema, and is waiting to hear back from him for that.    One thing that shows in her protein is that it is extremely high.  Her other levels are high like her A1C which was 8.5 on the latest check, and her other levels are pretty normal.   Her A1C was 7.1 for about a year, then tried to decrease her medication intake and tried controlling it on her own and her A1C is now lower, but does have a check up soon for more blood work.    She is scared and lives alone and feels like she is dying and that the vaccines will kill her or the effects from it will.   Her quality of life is  so bad that she cannot get around and does not know what she can do.
