On 02Apr2022, the patient experienced torn the right calf muscle (dose number in series 2). Patient reported that he was running up the hill, despite being athletic, was not warned up at all, and went from sitting position, sprint up the hill, which did not make it his first step was with his left leg and his second step was his right leg, at that point he did something that cause trauma to torn the right calf muscle. The patient reported that the moment it tore, he never torn anything before, the tearing was different feeling, he could not put any weight on my foot, there was complete Iimited mobility for about 5-6 days on 07Apr2022 and 08Apr2022, he started to move more because on 07Apr2022 for MFI (Magnetic resonance imaging) he found he was able to more weight on the ball of my foot, right above my toes on the base the sole of my foot. The bruising got worse between 07Apr2022 and 09Apr2022, none of that was abnormal given the tear, mobility and the pain. He put on calf or stay still the pain will go up, more throbbing, more pain, that was consistent until 10Apr2022 night when the pain got worse the specific area, it was a stabbing sensation, a constant stabbing, sharp pain almost like electrical shock every now and then, he could not sleep, which now he know was because he had a blot clot in right Leg (deep vein thrombosis right Leg) (dose number in series 2) . It was an ultrasound that they found the blood clot in right where he tore the muscle the ultrasound confirmed that, they were concern that there were more, they checked that spot they went up my Leg went up area on the right side, they Checked the other Leg, the speculation is that it could be just the trauma that caused it. On 11Apr2022, when he described it to the doctor (orthopaedic), to rule out blood clot at the vascular office they were very concerned, it was traumatic. He told me to ice it, 5-10 mins on and off, he kept ice, he moved as much, he was putting more weight his foot at that point, because despite possibility of blood clot, it being a grade 1-2 tear, he suggested to move around as much as he could tolerate with the pain , but he was hobbling, very slow and limited movement and still at times he used crutches. He reported that he had been 100 mobile for about 3 weeks, what feels to be 100. Patient had to be careful not to walk too fast, when he with his dog, he had to walk at much slower pace than he used to because he still feels Lots of fatigue in that area, at night when he walk he cannot move as quickly. Patient had a second radiologist look at the results, then physician assistant, PAC never really saw that day. She put me on blood thinner, made spectuation that blood clot was due to trauma, she said it could be or could not be caused by vaccine. No way to know. The next medical person he saw a physical therapist, I have been doing this for 4 weeks . They had not massaged only being doing functional movements, therapeutic movement to bring mobility and strength to lower body both sides. Then he saw his primary physician last week explained her everything and all the medication. She set him to see hematologist middle of July after the blood thinner. Patient reported that he had random throbbing. There are times at night when he had whole of movement, he being and doing physical therapy, stretching, moving daily, there are moments where he expect his leg to be sore maybe even more stiffness, what throws him off is sometimes he had these pulsations right where the trauma is and it moves towards his inner thigh. Sometimes the Back, hamstring he feel these pulses, it feels like but it feels like twitches, but it feels different , it feels very internal so he wonder If the blood Clot was moving, it's like feels like throbbing feels like muscle twitches, they never get worse, like nervous twitch, he think may be it was just stress, it was always his right leg , he never felt anything strange in other parts of his body other than his shoulder, everything that feels strange is in his right side. His left leg tends to be more sore and fatigued but more muscular, with my limited knowledge he do not associate it with blood clot. He do sense something is going with his right leg, even till today because everything has been happening is on right side. Patient reported that swelling was down, his calf got smaller because of the injury. He do bruise easily because of the medication he assume, but sometimes he do not know where the bruise is coming from. Treatment medications (dates unspecified) included: apixaban (4 in one day 2 morning, 2 night, then now patient taking it twice a day). It was reported that more one medical professional told the patient, that this was very rare occurrence and due to receiving the vaccine last year they could not rule out the possibility of it indirectly or directly causing the blood clot. Patient also mentioned he think another other possible cause could be putting ice on it, but other doctor mentioned there is no way the orthopedic doctor could have known there was a blood clot and putting was the best way to help him at that time.
