Additional information: Patient was concerned about the pain she was having in her right hand. She got the shot in the left arm as opposed to her right arm because she was right-handed and she has to be able to use that arm at all times, she lives alone. All of her effect of it, pain was in her right hand and both of her legs, 1st night, going down her leg onto the top area of the feet. "Painful, I mean." She has not received any of that from the other 2 shots she took for COVID. She didn't have any type of you know bad feelings or anything but have not felt well since I took the last one. No fever, just the pain and feeling fatigue, not feeling well. She am not one that cling to a bed but not feeling like yourself. Have been dealing with that but when that pain starts hitting her in right hand, it's a different pain. It really hurt. It really hurt and then it was kind of scary when the 1st night after had the shot, touched leg, back of leg, calf going down and when did that the pain shot down her leg down into the top part of my feet, painful pain. Now she have had the pain in the right hand mostly and not feeling well. Her stuff was so bad she was not taking any more COVID shots. Maid her feel better knowing there have been some reports of fatigue of pain. She must be experiencing some of that may be because of age, don't have arthritis but my older sister does. She has never complained of arthritis before, not like this. She states it could be a combination of the shot and arthritis with her age. About the last week of Nov caller went to Withheld to get what she hopefully thought was the last COVID Shot. She had already had two of them. This was the third one. She never had a problem with the first two shots. The last booster shot was for younger people and older than 65 years of age. She has experienced side effects with the main thing being not feeling well. She took shot in left arm because she is right-handed and lives alone. She always has to have her right hand in use, so in case something had an effect she needs to have her arm and hand. She had no problem with left hand where shot was given. The last shot however she has experienced her right hand being swollen and awful vein pain like laying in surgery with needle in hand for days. It hurt so bad. She was continuing to have that hurt. Also having swelling in back of her legs. Her two previous COVID shots were given at Withheld, but in a different area than the last COVID shot. The last shot was given in a clinic area. She didn't feel bad at all with the first two COVID shots and that was during the time when COVID was bad. She isn't feeling well, like low energy. It has wiped her out. The back of right hand was swollen. The thumb area looks a little larger, but she can't really say. She hurts in her right hand, kind of like when a needle is in the vein. Never had pain like that in her right hand. The first evening after having the last COVID shot, when she was in the bed she would have pains shoot down legs into her feet. It was the vein area. If she would touch her leg the pain would shoot from knee area on down. Now all of a sudden, she has puffiness below knees on the back part of the legs. It is puffy like a muscle. She couldn't touch her legs. She knew not to touch her legs because the pain went from that area all the way down to top of feet. Just like the vein area. It was just weird. Treatment: No. She has taken half a Bayer Aspirin. Caller clarified for all the pain she has been having she has been taking half a Bayer Aspirin periodically. The discomfort was still there. She has had a stroke before. She was on blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication, but her doctor took her off of those. Her body couldn't take them. Doctor started treating caller through diet, walking so many times a week, staying away from sodium, and those kinds of things. That is normally how she is treated. Instead of taking a whole Bayer Aspirin, she takes a half of one. Caller doesn't take a lot of medication. Caller doesn't want to get sick to the point where she has to take a bunch of pills. Caller doesn't take a lot of medication. As far as blood thinner, the doctor never really put her on one. He started her on a small dose of baby aspirin. The stroke is very old now and thank God she was healed from the stroke, but she still suffers from high blood pressure. Treats high blood pressure with walking. She has had high blood pressure since 18 years of age. Other than that she shouldn't have had what she is calling a little reaction. Maybe she has been eating enough and her legs are fattening up. They are not fat at the bottom, just right at the calf of her legs. That is where they feel like they are swollen. Never had fat legs. Caller clarified that she stopped using baby Aspirin some time ago. She will take Bayer Aspirin. It is not the low dose. The box says Bayer Wonder Drug 325mg, but she only takes half of it. She got the bottle of Bayer Aspirin to provide information from. LOT: it is wearing off the bottle, NAA960. EXP: Sep2024, it is wearing off the bottle. Caller had no reaction during that 15 minutes and was able to leave. Caller started experiencing it during the night since going to bed. Caller has been hurting off and on in her body especially in the right hand.   The information on the batch/lot number for BNT162b2, BNT162b2 omi ba.4-5 has been requested and will be submitted if and when received.
