The caller had really bad asthma, she had the second dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine about a month ago. This event happened after the second dose. The caller knows that some arm pain is normal and that's what she thought this was at first. It started out as general arm pain, it was in both arms, but it got worse. Now when the caller wakes up in the morning, her fingers, her palm, and her thumb is numb. Usually the caller's pinky finger is still awake, but her other digits were usually asleep and that part of her palm was numb. This usually wakes the caller up and it doesn't wear off until late after noon and it almost feels like it was getting worse. The caller looked into it to see if anyone else had this. The caller hadn't lifted anything heavy or done anything like that to cause this. With the first shot, the caller didn't really have any arm pain. Now the caller doesn't know what to do? The caller has been taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen and they take the edge off, but she was still achy. Tylenol- unknown lot, NDC, and expiration date. Ibuprofen- unknown lot, NDC, and expiration date. The caller mentions that its almost like her veins are popping out in her arms and bicep. The caller's muscles are tense in her arms, her arms look tense and the muscles look tight. The caller noticed this last week. The caller kept thinking it would wear off eventually. At first it wasn't as bad as it was now. At first it was a general tingling and the caller would shake her hand, she thought she slept on her hand, and it progressed to complete numbness. The caller's fingers curl a little bit because they are tight and hurt and she tries massaging and moving them and the numbness wears off but the soreness still there. The caller was having a hard time seeing the little tiny numbers on the vaccination card. Vaccination Facility. Did any AE(s) require a visit to Emergency room/ Physician's office was no.
