Clinical narrative: that arm has been painful ever since; It is radiated from that spot up into my shoulder a bit and down my limb, my arm through the muscle area so bad that I cannot raise my arm; This is a spontaneous report received from a contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non-HCP) from medical information team. The reporter is the patient.  A 85 year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date Aug2021 (Lot number: 30135BA) at the age of 85 years as dose 3 (booster), single for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (Dose number: 1, If taken the Pfizer COVID Vaccine: Consumer stated, "I took the COVID Vaccine all three times."), for COVID-19 immunization; Bnt162b2 (Dose number: 2, If taken the Pfizer COVID Vaccine: Consumer stated, "I took the COVID Vaccine all three times."), for COVID-19 immunization. The following information was reported: PAIN IN EXTREMITY (non-serious) with onset Aug2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "that arm has been painful ever since"; PAIN (non-serious) with onset Aug2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "It is radiated from that spot up into my shoulder a bit and down my limb, my arm through the muscle area so bad that I cannot raise my arm". The events "that arm has been painful ever since" and "it is radiated from that spot up into my shoulder a bit and down my limb, my arm through the muscle area so bad that i cannot raise my arm" were evaluated at the physician office visit. Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section.  Additional Context: Concern: Consumer stated, "I received a form when I was working and after I got my third vaccine shot that was seven more than 7 weeks ago in Aug2021. Immediately following that I had pain in my left arm at the site of the shot. I noticed on this form it says that is a common side effect, but this pain has continued and got worse of all and now it is continued in same way. It is radiated from that spot up into my shoulder a bit and down my limb, my arm through the muscle area so bad that I cannot raise my arm for example to hold I am left-handed to hold a folk. I went to a physician assistant and took an X-ray (Further clarification unknown) and said it didn't appear to be anything dealing with the bones and I should wait and see if it works this way out. So, I waited as long as I can stand without trying to do something about it. I called the other number on the phone to the city #, one of the man described it might be something, I have been talking to an expert and she said she heard something called COVID arm that might be what I had. It could from the way the shot was given or the way it went into the arm. So, I saw an article in the paper that said that this can happen and that it can cause pain like a sharp knife drawn into the muscle or something like that or hit the bone and then might even not get all the effect of the vaccine. I went to a testing site, and I had myself tested for the effectiveness of the vaccine and it appears to be effective and I have a extra ordinary amount (further clarification unknown) of whatever he is spoked I have and the results of taking the vaccine, so I want to go back to same doctor's office today he is an orthopaedic surgeon. Another doctor suggested to me that I should have an MRI because it might disclose something in the fleshy muscular area instead of in the bonny structure of arm. So, I am trying to call you to find out any information you have on some of the reports that I might be helpful to me and my doctor and when I see him in an hour or so."  If taken the Pfizer COVID Vaccine: Consumer stated, "I took the COVID Vaccine all three times."
