She does not knew if she needs to see a doctor or which doctor to see. She was asking if knee pain is an expected side effect after the vaccine. She was asking was her knee pain something that will get better on its own, or does she need to see a doctor for treatment. Before she took Tylenol, she used roll on Lidocaine. She put that on and it only helped a little bit. Tylenol has helped her the most, it has the longest effect.
