Clinical narrative: I got the vaccine at around 10:15 am on Tuesday 2/2/2021. I felt fine until that evening. I started feeling pain on my left arm, spreading to my left upper chest and shoulder, spreading to my head on the left side. I went to bed. Woke at about 4:00 am by pain. By then the pain was pervasive, hurting me from head to toe, on both sides. My stomach had sharp waves of pain, eventually my upper right abdomen was likewise in pain. I thought it was my small intestines but it could have been other organs in there such as liver and kidney. I have never felt pain in that area like that before. I got up to pee and drink water. It was painful to move. My right lower back was in sharp pain as I moved. My leg muscles and tendons had sharp pain when I walked. I got back in bed. Lying down eased the pain some. By morning the pain was less severe. I got up again and it was still painful to walk. My leg muscles hurt and my ankles hurt. I ate a yam with some plain nonfat yogurt. The pain became worse all over. I got back in bed. The pain eased a little, but did not ease as much as earlier in the morning. Eventually the pain moved down to my uterus, then by noon it moved to my inner thighs. By 1:00 pm it was in my knees as well. There?s still pain everywhere but the more severe pain was moving down to my lower body. The pain was disabling. I feel it more when I got out of bed. It?s aching pain mixed with sharp pain, like pulling a muscle kind of sharp. I?m afraid to eat because it seems like the pain got worse after I ate. Had a glass of milk at 4:00 pm and it made me feel worse. Did not eat or take my supplements the night of 2/3/2021. Cleaned up the kitchen despite the pain because I had to. Lied on the couch and fell asleep. Woke at 9:30 pm and went to bed. Still achy all over but pain less severe. Pain in knees and below continued. Woke 6:30 am 2/4/2021. Pain was much less severe when I woke. Went downstairs to take my thyroid meds and felt sharp pain on my left leg mostly calf and ankle as I walked down the stairs. Went back to bed and pain came up to my left thigh and groin. Becoming more and more pronounced in my left groin. It?s sharper and higher up and closer to my uterus. By 7:30 am the pain was up to my left armpit. My left leg was feeling a little numb. On the whole the aches are less pronounced and the traveling sharp pain less frequent. Staying in bed was still the best way to deal with the pain. I started feeling hungry but it?s only been an hour and a half since I took my meds. Waited two hours to have plain nonfat yogurt with banana and pears. Felt okay afterwards. Was able to do a zoom session. Had a large bowel movement. Felt okay. There?s still lingering pain on left side, but less severe. The milder pain lasted through the rest of the day. By afternoon there?s sharp pain in right labia minora. Felt like an open sore. Pain was intermittent. Was able to prepare and eat light dinner. Fell asleep on the couch. Woke at about 11:00 pm with strong frozen muscle pain digestive on left side. Sat up and drank 2 large mugs of warm water slowly. Pain finally passed two hours later. Labia minora intermittent sharp pain continued. Examined area with hand mirror but found no open sore. Found nothing. Washed area with hand held shower. Felt no open sore when examined by hand. No sharp pain felt in area upon touching and washing. Skin felt smooth and intact with no break. After washing the sharp pain was gone. Went to bed and it?s only slight pain on left calf and ankle now. Slept till 7:00 am. 2/5/2021. Fairly pain free except upper left arm of shot area still sore. All day fairly pain free. At bedtime a splitting pressure headache on left side developed and became more and more severe. Pain was sharp. Lasted about an hour. The sharpness faded but felt the remnants of lingering pain for longer. Slept till 7:00 am. All day fairly pain free. Headache and leg shoulder blade pain at bedtime. Residual pain felt daily until the 8th day after the shot.
