Clinical narrative: This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (Nurse). A 44-year-old female received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE, Formulation: solution for vaccine, Batch/Lot number was not reported) second dose via unspecified route of administration as 2nd dose single for COVID-19 immunization. the patient medical history underlying health issue, because patient diabetic because of thyroid issues, most is gone, patient don't get enough replacement they took 2/3 of thyroid out. Patient had Hashimoto's disease were reported. The patient concomitant medications were not reported. Does not want to provide. Patient only had because it's a rural area, I can only get a Nurse Practitioner and this one is not great. Small bed hospital, they allow, the threshold for malpractice was like zero, a lot of malpractice physicians end up here to just put their time in, there are huge mistakes made around here. Patient had cancer of the thyroid, patient had a second opinion, they left a piece in without biopsying. They missed the fact that it was cancer, surgeon didn't tell me, my PCP said he read report and it was fine, year later found it he hadn't read the repot. Patient was in a car accident, brain bleed 15 years ago, no lawyer would take the case. Corruption in County. After the second vaccine on  last Thursday, immediately on the 29Apr2021, patient immediately had arm swelling at injection site, however, it has increased on left side where injected, left side of neck the whole  back side of my neck is swollen, almost like a jellyfish, squishy, not hard lumps, it's swollen at the base of your neck on left side, From left shoulder up the neck, also goes down my left arm down from injection site and under the armpit and really enlarged under the armpit. The armpit, it goes down from armpit down 6 inches, continues 6 inches on the inside of my left arm. Really upset that about 2 days ago, patient started having swelling down my left side of my body to my waist. Just to clarify, patient had: Under my arm pit, down 7 inches on my side is the same type of swelling. Neck, front of left arm, back of left arm, radiates down 8 inches under my arm, that is all swollen too, My left neck, left shoulder up my neck 4 inches, also didn't mention is from my neck to my collar bone on left side is full of swollen glands. From shoulder toward the right side doesn't make it to the center line.  This morning when I woke up, started having pain in left groin, swelling and pain, a few lumps. When I have a  few lumps, I end up with a lot. It just seems to be not clearing up and continuing on.  It's not normal and it is really uncomfortable. The lady that gave the IM shot, you spread out the arm to give the shot, she squeezed my arm to give the shot and then put the needle in. When you do that it's a subcutaneous shot and you are not supposed to squeeze the skin of the arm together, It doesn't disperse as well when you pinch, that could be a small part of that. Nurse reported that to a supervisor, not to get her in trouble, but I can't explain the amount of the swelling. patient side was like squishy jelly fish, just swollen, parts are hard, parts of it are soft, kinda like fluid. Everything is swollen to the waist pretty much. Has anyone had that extent of swelling, every day it gets a little bit worse.  Maybe patient had an underlying health issue, because patient diabetic because of thyroid issues, most is gone, patient don't get enough replacement they took 2/3 of thyroid out. I have Hashimoto's disease. The physician wouldn't even go with them to tell with the journey where going on, patient wouldn't give any treatment for it. Patient wanted to call the Health department.  just need to know if anyone had this happen. In a really small town, customer had a GYN appointment and was feeling around my armpit area after the first dose, before the second, and they told me that Pfizer says this can happen. Pfizer is so great, you got it (the vaccine)  so fast, it has a great efficacy, everyone wants your vaccine. patient had to call to even get a vaccine going around here, because we are in a small town, they didn't have us on the map, and now they are all over the place. Patient called also very I have tetanus toxoid, and had to make sure it wasn't in covid vaccine and it wasn't. Patient find this extremely helpful, Pfizer had great follow through. Patient had been transferred 4 times, called twice. Finally got the right department. No follow-up attempts are needed; information about lot/batch number cannot be obtained.
