The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The patient takes no medications at all. No additional vaccines administered on Same Date of the Pfizer Suspect. She has never been vaccinated in her entire life, not even the flu shot. She is usually pretty healthy that's what makes her think this event came from the vaccine. Plus, she knows what her arm feels like and she knows it came from the vaccine, she doesn't care what anybody says. No other vaccinations within four weeks prior to the first administration date of the suspect vaccine was administered to the patient. In Apr2021, the patient experienced arm was sore; sore, kept getting jibby jabby pain, pain at the injection site and all the way down her arm and calcium deposit on her tendon/rotator cuff and on 22Mar2021, the patient experienced her first pfizer shot on 22mar2021 and she has been having a problem with her arm/couldn't move her arm for 3 days. It was reported that the patient went and got her first Pfizer shot and she has been having a prob-lem with her arm. The second shot was on 19 Apr 2021. She reported that she didn't really get sick from the Pfizer shot at the time, but ever since she got the shot, her arm has never been the same. She complained about it every day, it was sore, She states she kept getting jibby jabs , she doesn't know how to describe it, other than jibby jabby pain. She still gets pain. She clarifies her arm is still sore where she had the vaccine, her arm has never been the same. The Patient clarified that the pain started later that evening after receiving the second shot, but she didn't think much of it. By night time, her arm was hurting. She clarifies by 8 or 9 o'clock that night, her arm was very sore and hurting. She said her arm never really was the same after that. The patient was crying because she couldn't get dressed or brush her hair due to her hair. Even when she was sitting at the table, she had to pick up her arm and move it. It was like her arm was dead because then she cried even harder thinking she had a dead arm. Finally, she went to the hospital because she couldn't take it anymore. Of course the hospital is quack, so they didn't know. They couldn't find anything so that is why they sent her to the orthopedic doctor. At the end of May, she was still having problems with it. Her arm got so bad, she couldn't move it for 3 days, and she actually thought she was having a stroke. She had to actually pick up her arm and move it. She couldn't get dressed. She couldn't wash her hair. She cried. She went to the hospital and as she was sitting there, she told them she felt like the pain was spreading all the way up her arm. She wanted to know if this was from the vaccine. She ex-plains the hospital didn't know. They took an x-ray, but didn't find anything in her arm. They referred her to an or-thopedic doctor. She states it has been like 24 days since she went to the first orthopedic doctor, and he told her she had a calcium deposit on her tendon/rotator cuff. She had to go get some ul-trasound shots to have it broke up. She had to call and make an appointment because she had to go see another orthopedic doctor for the shots. Her appointment was today and when she went there, it seemed like her arm was getting a little bit better, so the doctor said he wasn't going to do the shots. The doctor said he didn't want to shoot the shots into her if she wasn't in pain al-ready. She is wondering if this pain in her arm came from the COVID vaccine shot because her arm has never been this painful. Even though they found the calcium deposit, she still gets pain where the vaccine was, at the injection site. She still has pain that shoots down her arm. Even though she guesses the calcium deposit is healing, they never said anything about the vaccine. The caller states she thinks its coming from the vaccine because her arm has never been the same. Caller stated she does not really have a primary care. She does not have insurance. She is paying all of these bills by hand. Patient reported that she went running to the hospital because she was so scared. She couldn't wash her hair and move her arm for a few days, so she wasn't sure if it was coming from the vac-cine. The caller explains her sister kind of forced her into the vaccine. She kept telling her sister that she wasn't ready for the COVID vaccine because it wasn't FDA approved yet, but her sister forced her into it. She kept telling her sister that her arm hasn't been the same after the vaccine. Her arm still isn't the same, she still get pains in it. She said it is hard to describe the pain in her arm. Caller states sometimes it's feels like something is in there jibby jabbing her. Sometimes, pain just shoots through her arm. She couldn't move her arm for days. She couldn't wash her hair or anything. She couldn't lift it. She went running to the hospital and was told they didn't know what it was, and then she asked if it was from the vac-cine and they said they didn't know. So, they sent her to the orthopedic doctor. As she stated earlier, the doctor found a calcium deposit, but she doesn't know if that was part of the vaccine. She just knows her arm still hurts at the injection site where she got the vaccine and her arm has never been the same, it still isn't to this day. She still gets pain in it. She kept hoping it would go away, but it still hasn't. That's why she is re-porting now. The day after she got the second vaccine, her arm started hurting. It was really sore the next day and she knew it was supposed to be. The pain started too but she didn't think much of it. She figured it was because she just got the shot. It seems like it's still there and now she has the issue with the orthopedics and calcium deposits. She doesn't know if the calcium deposit could be coming from the vaccine because she was told it was from the tendon/ rotator cuff. However, she knows she still feels pain at the injection site itself and all the way down her arm. The orthopedic doctor believes the calcium deposits are healing on its own so that's why she didn't have to get the shots today. She really thinks the pain is from the vaccine, or at least some of it is. She states it was painful enough for her to go the hospital because she doesn't ever go to doctors or hospitals since she doesn't have insurance. She doesn't go unless she has severe pain, she tries to avoid it. The patient confirms she was not hospitalized, she just went to the emergency room and was only seen there. She couldn't move her arm or anything. When her husband saw her having to pick her arm up and move it, he actually thought she had a stroke and didn't know it. She confirms she told the hospital she believed it was from the vaccine but the hospital said they couldn't say that. They did an X-ray and they didn't see anything. She clarified her not being able to move her arm and wash her hair started at the end of the May, right when she went to the hospital. She believes it was 24May2021 or 28May2021 when she went to the hospital. She was crying. She couldn't move her arm. She couldn't wash her hair, get dressed. This pain has improved because she is now able to was her hair and get dressed. She still feels jibby jabby pains in it every now and then, she still feels the pain shoot down her arm at the injection site. The caller stated she has another sister with health conditions. Her sister with health issues got the vaccine and her arm wasn't even sore. She got sick the next day. Caller clarified that her sister was sick for a couple days with a sore throat and sniffles and that, but her arm wasn't sore at all because she laughed at the caller. The patient confirmed that she would like to know if this arm pain is normal after the COVID-19 vaccine. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included x-ray: didn't find anything in her arm. Outcome of the event limb discomfort was recovering and that of the other events were unknown.  Information on the lot/batch number has been requested.
