A 61-years-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Batch/Lot Number: not reported), dose 1 via an unspecified route of administration, administered in Arm Left on 18May2021 for covid-19 immunization.

On May2021, the patient experienced "i had the pain in my hand; and then it got concentrated in my hands, both hands and i got swollen hands; more pain down on my arm and my hand and one of them, maybe more serious going on internally/started experiencing more pain down on my arm, the pain you know it travelled to my other joints; shoulder pain, hips pain and the knee pain and the ankle pain, feet pain and then i had swollen feet. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood test: normal on 2021, x-ray: normal on 2021. Treatment was provided for the events. Reporter seriousness for the events were unspecified. NDC number and UPC number was unknown. The patient finished his second vaccine on 18May. After couple days he had the reaction where he had the pain in his hand, and the first one hand and then the second hand couple of days later and then his arm and hand and then it got concentrated in his hands, both hands and he got swollen hands and the thing was about to travel after that so he travelled overseas. He went to withheld after that and then as when I stayed over there he saw three doctors and they told him that what it appears to be that have a rare reaction possibly from the vaccine and that's what he took which is the BioNTech Pfizer here in withheld, and so they just gave him steroids (treatment) and gave him painkillers (treatment). and the which he used for like couple of weeks but then he stopped and it started then worse and worse again and then his hands again and then the pain you know it travelled to his other joints hips, ankles and knees. He never had this kind of pain in life and he had vaccines before but he never had like knee pain or all that but he don't have back pain now but just had the hand pain and the joints, other joints pain you know shoulder pain, hips pain and the knee pain and the ankle pain, feet pain and swollen feet, for cold days and yesterday he saw and he went to immediate care. He was again given the steroids (treatment) and so it worsen again and so it got the swollen got somewhat better but still you know simpler but the thing is its still there and he is confused because it seems like it started with the hands and then 3-4 weeks it started going to other joints so, or if reaction to the vaccine or could it be co-incidence or something else, everybody in medical profession here told him it was most likely things its reaction to the vaccine but nobody is really having any confirmation. He asked if that any body that had the similar reactions and what are the possible treatments for it and what is the root cause of it and things like that so he asked for medical advice from some or facilitation of the vaccine from the Pfizer and what to do if that's a possibility and because all the you know medical people told him that they have a high possibility but they are able not to they link it yet. He has to do more test and this and don't know so far nothing. Height was reported as 5'8 may be 195.  Consumer reported test were much normal except for CBR was kind of high.
