Clinical narrative: Stiffness in my arm; Shooting pain beyond the injection site; Searing hot shooting pains; all over her body; Her arm started to hurt; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer. A 60-years-old female patient received first dose of bnt162b2 (BNT162B2 PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Batch/Lot number was not reported), via an unspecified route of administration on 06Apr2021 as SINGLE DOSE for covid-19 immunisation. The patient medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. On 06Apr2021, Patient stated that Her arm started to hurt the same night that she received the first dose of the vaccine. The pain turned into an ache, felt as if she hit her in the arm with a hammer, started to get pain further up into your shoulder, where her shoulder "cap" is (right arm toward her should "cap"). She experienced 3-4 days of searing hot shooting pains; all over her body that would last 3 or 4 seconds at a time, affecting her biceps, back, leg, there was no rhyme or reason where it would hurt, random. Immobilizing her right arm helped. Over the last 2 days, it's starting to feel a lot more normal, but those throbbing searing pains have dissipated. Stated she can't find this online; searing hot pain affected her body any other reports." Caller stated, "I had stiffness in my arm that night. On the 4th day (the 5th day after the vaccine). On Sunday (6th day) it started getting better but the night of the 6th day I had shooting pain beyond the injection site but starting from there for the next 4 - 5 days straight, blazing hot shooting pain intermittently.  It was on on day 7 it went haywire. It was wild, never experienced anything like this. It's not in my muscle in my joint or muscle (not a dull throbbing ache like when you get when you have the flu) this wasn't like that, searing hot shooting pain random in my body for days. My arm between the injection site and shoulder cap, burning. Then shooting pain down my arm, then running up front of my leg calf then the right side of my groin (it's hopping around), then spine, my shoulder and none of the spots where hitting were 3 or 5 seconds. The last couple of days its better but the injection site, when I lift my arms sideways it hurts or when I'm doing something forward/backward repeatedly (like vacuuming) it hurts. Tomorrow it'll be 3 weeks. I'm not on medications. I don't have a PCP. I don't have medically problems. Normally, I would ignored this and walk it off but it's been 3 weeks so I thought I should report it. I moved back to AZ, so I have not been able to establish a PCP. I'm in limbo right now.  When I was at Walgreens and they blew me off about having my 2nd dose at 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks like they scheduled. I wanted to find out if I'm not the only one going through this but if no one else is going through this. I know most people just have the stiff arm. I didn't get a headache, chills or fever.
