Additional information: He was supposed to, they gave me this number to call if there is any more adverse effects and they gave me a report# which was # (Further clarification unknown if reported earlier in Pfizer Drug Safety hence, checked as an initial report). So, they said if they continues or anything else come up give them this report# so, that's the report# concerning me. Consumer stated, Okay, the continued feeling, adverse feelings that he was having was his left leg adductors and the hip area is extremely tight no matter how he stretch his legs an hour later, they are tight as a drum after he got the second shot and that was way back in, whenever it was Aug2021 and the right leg was like that also but after stretching it went away but the left leg continues to tighten up even after he stretch it and has not stopped at all, it will relax for an hour and then right back again its tight as a drum where you can't even cross your leg. when he did had her regular checkup and he told the doctor about it. He  did not tell him the rest of what he was experiencing. the third episode he had was, he could not use a toilet but he know, he has a gastrointestinal problem (Intent: Medical History) so, he was thinking that was what it was alright and he can feel when he was extremely constipated because that was what has been all his life so, he had been taking extra dose of Milk of magnesia not magnesia but magnesium to make sure he got the proper magnesium in his system and drinking, eating lots of fruit and vegetables okay so, He had not had any problems, everything was working fine and then after that second shot and after the hip episode he got extremely constipated and my stomach start to bloat and he know what was going on and he said to myself he was not going to eat anything till he use the bathroom because he had been to the hospital before so, he did not eat anything and he took large dosage of Milk of magnesia it did not work. So, the next day it was still blocked up like that and he said no, HE was still not going to eat until this goes through hhis system so, he took another big dosage of Milk of magnesia that did not work either. So, he said now what he can do before he goes to the hospital, he was going to get some hot, He was going to get some prune juice and he was going to heat it and he will drink it. So, he got a glass of prune juice heated it up and drank it and then the stool start to loose and it came out like a black sludge because magnesia will make his stool black he understand that but it came out like mud, thick sludge mud for about 30 days and after 30 day it went back to normal. The level of magnesia is 5%. Consumer stated, No, he do not have that. He had to go to the employee health and they give you the three series of shot but there was complication with the Hepatitis B vaccine the doctors kept calling me every 6 months to see how he was doing and he thought they were looking at the Lovastatin but they were looking at the Hepatitis B vaccine because it had not turned to antibodies and it did not turned to antibodies for 20 years and when he called me in 2014 he said, you now have antibodies and he said the Hepatitis B vaccine and he told him I got that in 1994 it took 20 years to turn into antibodies. That is not all of the adverse effects. All this is going, he had never been sick like this it was only till he got that second shot and when the second shot came, these are the things that happened in the months of second shot up to this date. He never had anything and he did not tell you the one about he thought, he was having a kidney problem, he had passed a kidney stone in his left side years back okay, he passed a kidney stone and that was way back in early 2000 and then after the shot he had it on his right side and it felt like it was a kidney but it did not feel the same hurt. he could not bend to the right, it hurts and he could not do any walking because it hurt and then it would fade away and it would came back again and it would fade away and it would come back again and he was saying it cannot be the kidney because he know what a kidney stone felt like and he had it before that was the other thing. There is another thing also, did he tell you about his left adductors when his adductors, they were both tight the right one went away, the left one still has not went away and he stretch it and stretch it and an hour later it is like he never stretched at all, it was still tight as a drum. Wait a minute, there was one thing it was very important. He had a rash on his chest, on his right side with a very, very deep rash and it kept itching and itching really deep and so, he cleaned it up with alcohol and putting water and alcohol and he put other things (Unspecified Medications) to put on it to stop itching but it would not stop and then that going on for about a month and he tried something else on it which was, it was a lip balm, it was antibiotic, not antibiotic. he tried antibiotic creams (Unspecified Medications) that did not stop it at all it was a Blistex Lip Balm (Suspect captured as unspecified medication conservatively) and he put that because it was medicated and he rubbed that on it and it stopped the itching but then it went away, then it came right back again but it got smaller then it went away and now it is gone and now his skin feels like normal skin, it does not feel like raw, hard like bumps on things, it finally faded away that was on the right side, did not do it on the left side, only on my right side, on my chest.  No, he do not know if you helped me at all but that was it. Wait, before you go he tried to call Pfizer before he  got the shot because I knew, he had problems with Hepatitis B vaccine but of course the doctors all said like the CDC said, go get the shot, go get the shot. So, he delayed and that is why it took me to the 21Aug2021 to go and get it and he tried to call CDC to get information but of course only thing that they give us is the person that was reading the script this was only thing you can tell them because we do not have all the information ourselves. So, he tried to get answer, should he take this shot or not. Because of Hepatitis B vaccine that took 20 years but no one would talk to me. he could not get any help at all. He had one that he might want to put down while working at the hospital. Its Hepatitis B Vaccine.
