The clinical course was reported as follows: The patient received his first dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine on Mar24 and since 10 weeks he has pain at the injection side, upper torso, both arms , shoulder, chest on the right side and tinnitus. The patient wanted to know about prolonged pain. He stated " study and  study states 0.8 percent of receiptant  of the covid vaccine (unknown manufacture) suffered tinnitus. He said she had severe bronchitis, pneumonia 8-10 times. He was confined to bed for 6 weeks when last time he had pneumonia. The patient is still experiencing pain all throughout the area of the injection site, upper torso, both arms and he has had tinnitus which is interfering with sleep and cognition. The patient clarified that the date of his 1st dose was on 24Mar2021 which will be 10 weeks ago tomorrow and what he has experienced is not something he had expected. He does have severe underlying conditions that he has to be protected from COVID for. He has had chronic acute bronchitis since 1963 and when he was into his 30s the bronchitis advanced to walking pneumonia at least 8 times and severe pneumonia twice. He has never had a common cold, every time he has had a common cold it has progressed into his lungs to bronchitis and ever since his mid 30s he has developed some form of minor to acute pneumonia. He didn't go looking for symptoms on the internet he developed these problems and then he searched and there's an study, a study and a study that all say that tinnitus affects about 0.8% of the population and he has had it for 10 weeks. It has never stopped. It is affecting his sleep, his cognitive ability and his concentration. As for his shoulder, he doesn't know about that as much. He hasn't found any studies on the internet for long term severe pain but it may be an aggravation of a former injury. He would like to see if this severe long term pain has been reported before. He asks, would you advise to get a second dose? Apparently he has read more of the studies online than the doctors he has consulted in his county have. The only response he got from the doctors there were that they don't think the COVID vaccine caused his condition. No one has read any studies of any adverse reactions or at least none that are in his HMO which is his Medicare advantage program, so he is limited in his choice of doctors. He has diabetes, arthritis, and he can't even remember his other preexisting conditions, that's how bad the tinnitus is affecting him.   Information on Lot/Batch number has been requested.
