Patient had known allergies of ongoing seasonal allergy. Family medical history relevant to AE was heart disease in her family. These things on the left side gives her concern because if it is spreading blood, it tends to want to go through the heart. She is a little nervous. This thing is itching like crazy. Is going to have to address this. It runs deeper than just being a normal bug bite. If she has physical concerns, she needs to follow up immediately with a doctor. No prior vaccinations within 4 weeks. No additional vaccines were administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. On an unspecified date in 2021, patient got an itch in the left arm which she assumed was a bug bite. There was no evidence of a bug bite and then itching happened. The whole thing happened right in the area where they gave her the shot. It was last Friday or Saturday when she noticed it all starting. It just kept itching and itching and felt like some kind of hard ball or something underneath the surface of the skin. The area around where the first shot seemed to be, seems to be a puncture wound, not insect bite per say. It usually swells up and she can see a bite. Hives are happening and it's turning red and is spreading. If it weren't her left arm, she wouldn't have anything to think about. It is a new vaccine, a new bug, a new virus. It is getting worse, not better. Wants to know what we have to say about it. This hasn't happened to her before. When it is clearly an insect bite, she goes through a series of steps where it gets better. That is not happening with this. The fact that it is in the same exact spot the shot was given makes her a little nervous. It is the left side of e the body. The heart is in the left side of the body. Recently, to make matters worse, she got bit by a bug on her left ear. She has a sty in her left eye. Everything is on the left side of her body. It is turning into a spreading rash on the left arm, which is where they gave her the shot. The ball of hard muscle is appearing on her arm, under where they gave her the shot. She does not know she was going to have a long lasting problem. It was still sore, as if she has gotten a fresh shot. It does not feel exactly like a hard ball the whole area was sore and was larger now. It was warm to the touch, it was warm the whole time and a little scab and she occasionally scratches it during her sleep. She tried not to scratch it. Adverse events did not require to visit Emergency Room or Physician office. Investigation Assessment was reported as no. No Relevant Tests reported. Treatment taken that she took Children Benadryl. Took nothing else specifically for this. Has physical disabilities which she takes medications for, so she can walk around and probably have a life. Has anxiety and takes a few different things for different purposes. Had spinal surgery in 1998. Had rods and screws in the lower back vertebrae because she suffered an accident. Takes a series of mainly 4 pills to keep her in some kind of working condition. One of her legs is 1 and a half inches shorter. It is really hard to walk properly and sit and stand.
