The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included left wrist x-ray: normal on 14Apr2021. After receiving second dose, at dinner time he noticed what was that feeling in his left wrist. It did not hurt his wrist felt like how it would feel if maybe he slept on it wrong. Then Tuesday, 23Mar2021, his left wrist felt worse, and it started to hurt a little bit. On Wednesday, 24Mar2021, his left wrist really hurt and since then he was given it time to go away but since then it became worse. He could not use his left hand. His left hand swelled up. He was old but there were no wrinkles on that left hand. He was having pain in his left wrist and hand. He reported he just came in from going to a walk-in clinic. His left wrist was wrapped in an Ace bandage and x-rayed his left wrist. There was nothing wrong with his left wrist on x-ray. He had blood work ordered also but he has not had his blood drawn yet. He will have that done tomorrow 15Apr2021. He was also prescribed a steroid. He had no clue what the steroid was. He had not picked it up from the pharmacy yet.
