Clinical narrative: She got her vaccine, first at the bottom of her leg down by her ankle on the right stab she would get a stabbing pain like something was going to pop.  She would be walking and she would have to stop as she would feel it and could not go any further.  She would then hobble and not put weight on it, and then would walk and wonder what that was.  She was coming home from a bus stop and hard to walk.  After that sensation she had a feeling of a swelling like she had a rubber band tightened around the top of her leg in her muscle.  Then up to the knee area and the area behind her knee it full full, like it was swollen and full of something and was stiff.  She would have to take care at work to hold onto the filing cabinet drawer to get herself up from the floor.  The knee and the leg would not function for her to be able to get herself up.  When she got it was fine.  It then went above the knee to the lower thigh and around the back around the knee area, and then it was the entire leg.  She then would get a sharp pain that would hurt and she was not able to move it and a linger pain that would not go away.  She was out of work for about 4 days, and had to have her family member get her a walker as she could not use a cane, and not able to get in and out of a car or go up and down stairs.  When that happened she still had to go to work, and had to take an ride share to work.  She then would have to use a walker at work as she could not put her entire weight on the leg to walk.  Because of her hours working she was not able to go to the doctor right away, told him about the reaction.  She had some x-rays and an US done.  Everything pointed towards problems with her legs, and she then realized that the pain was subsiding and getting back to normal, but still had to use the walker as if the pain hit she would not be able to put weight on her, and used it to assist her.  Then about the end of June it started to feel a lot better, and felt that things seemed to be back to normal, but was still not sure what caused it.  She went back to work on 8/8/22, and got her vaccine and then it started all over again and is back to where she started again.  She has to walk around a lot at work and push things as she is in food service, and fell behind in her bills.   She has a bus pass but not able to go on the bus due to her condition right now and has to continue to use an rideshare.    It has been a big struggle for her to keep her job due to this issue.  She did not have any issues with her walking prior to the vaccine.    She got her 2nd booster on 7/25/22, LOT#FM7553.    She was very active and was dancing and walking up hills to get to the bus stop every day, and now unable to do it.  She gets her flu vaccine and pneumonia vaccine and everything and has never had a reaction to any of those.    Currently the doctors have different type of scans of her leg and has been determined that she has an extreme case of vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis, which is something that is not in her heritage.  She is probably going to get an EMG study.  She is having neurologic work done right now, but it costs a lot and has some out of pocket costs due to her insurance not covering the entire cost.
