Patient was calling regarding the recent Covid vaccines he had back on 2Mar2021 and follow up second dose on 23Mar2021. Is 68 years old, was drafted way back in conflict and has had a lot of vaccines. Used to work for the health department. Is concerned because he felt like a stoned sphynx when he gets up in the morning. All of his joints are screaming at him. Any place where he has had broken bones seems to be exacerbating and ridiculously painful. Tries to do strengthening exercises to get limbered up and still has trouble with that. Became very pronounced on 26Mar2021. Pretty much stopped him in his tracks. Had been putting it off because of all the migraines and stuff that he had been having, it has been getting more painful, usually it was more visual. Has been seeing neurologist downstate. Came down on 26Mar2021 to resume Botox injections but haven't been to him since last October because he was concerned about riding the subway transit with social distancing and all. With all of the variants of Covid being brought to the public, thought he probably shouldn't go when he was scheduled. Ended up going on 26Mar2021 and ended up staying in the city. By the time he got to the hotel, was so wiped out, he had no energy. Was very strange. Even with the first dose. He couldn't' explain it. Had so much pain in the opposite left arm, which he didn't receive the vaccine in. Had it in the right arm from the start. Had first inoculation on 2Mar2021, more in the bicep and triceps area of the left arm. Left it up to them with the second dose on 22Mar2021 It was given in the right arms again. Restated that the second injection was 23Mar not 22Mar. Is really not any better. At points when he is sitting, it will all of a sudden just rear its ugly head and is really bizarre. Has not really done any treatment, just the Botox injections, about 7 rounds. Takes Tylenol, about 4 a day. Has gotten so bad, he has stopped taking Tylenol but has been getting so uncomfortable, that he went and bought a bottle of a newer version of Tylenol. Is 500mg tablets. Usually takes one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night. If it is really bad, takes a fourth one. Before taking Tylenol, was taking Turmeric extract 450mg that is a 95% extract of Curcumin. Is like the herb powders used for cooking but this is more designed for inflammation and pain. Migraines are more painful than they used to be, were usually just visual. Tries not to sit for long periods of time. When getting up, it is really painful in both knees. Notices when stretching, sometimes has severe calf pain, almost like a muscle knot. Want to scream, it is just so brutal. Just expressed concerns over these symptoms. After the first shot, experienced symptoms and talked to the physician. Gets unprovoked chills, not cold or anything. Just started noticing it frequently within the last 6 or 8 weeks. Haven't really gotten any worse but kind of annoying. not like a draft in the room, but all of a sudden getting goosebumps. Patient did not visit to Emergency Room or Physician's office. The clinical outcome of events severe calf pain and pain in the opposite left arm was unknown, while all other events was not recovered. No follow-up attempts are needed. No further information is expected.
