Additional information: 31Dec2021 is the day he received booster shot. The day after the booster shot, he began to have pain in left side, which he never had on that side before. It was in his neck and went down to his scapula. Then, his armpit was tender and very lumpy down his rib cage, so she looked it up and there had been reports of lymphadenopathy. On the day received booster shot, they had to drive quite a distance to come back to (State Initials) and knew he struggled the entire way. She first stated it was persisting. She would say it is a tiny bit better, he can find places where he sits or moves where he can stop it, but it is a stabbing pain. It is hard to describe. It is a muscle that tightens in his neck and she can feel it and it goes down the scapula. Then he has a feeling of congestion in the front. He is swollen on left side below clavicle. She did not feel armpit because he got worse after driving. She tried to probe around to try and help relieve him. That was by 03Jan2022. Lumpy rib cage improved quite a bit. She used it as a massage center for him and could not get into a doctor right away. It seemed as though massaging tending to help them release. On 04Jan2022, he said that was bothering him. That was the least of the things. The stabbing pain is in his shoulder and connection where trapezius comes across that spot in his shoulder. It is not painful, just kind of a presence. Vaccination Facility Type as Pharmacy. Physician Office visited, the Orthopedic doctor. He x-rayed him to determine if related to surgery and it was not.
