A 56-year-old female patient received the second dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (lot: EL9267) on 19Feb2021 10:00 at single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included pain, tingling in right thigh, pain in back, patient can barely walk (she had this problem 10 years prior and haven't had these symptoms until she got the covid vaccine). Concomitant medications were none. Historical vaccine included the first dose of bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE) (lot number EL3247) on 25Jan2021 for COVID-19 immunisation (Her first dose 25Jan2021. It has a little piece of paper on top that has lot number EL3247 for the first dose). Patient reported that she got the second Pfizer covid vaccine last Friday at 10am (19Feb2021 10:00). On Sunday (21Feb2021) she started having pain and tingling in her right thigh (21Feb2021), and patient experienced pain in her back (Feb2021). She can barely walk (Feb2021). She worked in a school. Everyone here had their second shot and everyone was fine except her. She had this problem 10 years prior and haven't had these symptoms until she got the covid vaccine. She spoke with the nurse here at the school and she said that this couldn't be related to the vaccine. Patient asked if this could be associated with the vaccine. In addition, patient reported that she got the shot, the second vaccine and she was doing fine the first day and Saturday and then Sunday (21Feb2021) she went walking, hiking and the only thing she had as far as reaction was her arm was hurting (Feb2021). On Sunday she started having a lot of pain in her right leg and it was tingling (21Feb2021), she thought the next morning she thought her body was having a reaction, it was weird she couldn't walk, her leg is weak and it bothers her, her thigh is hurting. She didn't have this problem before she got the vaccine, she does not know if it has to do with it. She is at work and every time she tells people about what is happening, she does not know if they have had a reaction but she knows that they told her you can have headaches, body ache, fever, that is what they told her but all she got is that tingling in the right thigh and it is bothering her, she can't walk and she is at work and can't even walk. She doesn't know what to do if she should see a doctor, she does not know if it has to do with the vaccine. She is confused she feels like she is crazy because she kept telling what is going on and people say it is everything else like stress but she did not have this before how come it is happening now. She asks does she need to go see her doctor now. She got the second dose Friday at 10 am, she confirms 19Feb. Sunday night she felt tingling and hurting and it was bothering her and she didn't think it was the vaccine but it got worse the next day and right now she is in a lot of pain she doesn't know if it is related. She confirms it started Sunday 21Feb2021 and it is ongoing. She says it has not gotten better she would say it has stayed about the same overall. She says she had this problem with something with her back. She thinks it had to do with her back about 10 years ago and it has come back. She is really surprised that it came back she got the vaccine and it came back 3 days after she got the vaccine. She does not know if this was a reaction but this pain thing and back thing she thinks she has a pinched nerve but she didn't have it for 10 years vaccine and now she has had a reaction. She does not know if that has to do with it or not. She has been fine all this time, no problems and now her back and the side of her thigh are hurting. The outcome of events having pain and tingling in my right thigh was not recovered. The outcome of other events was unknown.
