She clarified that she was calling about the third dose of the Pfizer covid vaccine. She got it on 29Sep and was okay for 6 weeks and didn't feel anything or have any particular problems. Then slowly she started to have some pain in her arm where she got the shot. The pain had gotten so bad in her arm its all the way down to her hand and up to her neck and moved to her shoulder and the upper neck area, it was severe pain. It felt like a fireball in her arm where she got the shot and she cannot sleep anymore and didn't know what to do. She called her doctor and they had a wait for an appointment so she decided to call Pfizer to advise her. She cannot lift up her anymore. This event had gotten really bad this past week. After the vaccine she had a little arm pain for a few days but didn't feel any different than the first two doses, and she felt okay. Two months after the shot she started to have pain in her arm, and its increasingly getting worse. In December for 2-3 weeks the pain had been very strong, and last week she couldn't fall asleep even with a sleeping pill. It went from the left hand up to the shoulder and neck area on the left side. She had the shot on the left side. Where she had the shot it felt like a fireball on the inside and the pain is radiating. She cannot even hold a telephone in her left hand, and its impossible for her to pick up her left arm. The pain never went away its always there. The painkiller did not help. She took two Aleve, one a day for two days but it didn't help so she tried a Bayer aspirin but that didn't help either. She didn't take any medications, she had no health conditions and was a healthy weight. Its really not a good situation for her, she literally cannot do anything anymore beside having this pain. It didn't feel warm to the touch, not from the outside but on the inside its very bad, like a fireball. She did not have a fever. The pain was worsening as time went by. She can only get a zoom call with her doctor.The lot number for bnt162b2 was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
