In addition to this severe muscle cramps in her legs and numbness in her hands and fingers began to develop at the 2 week post vaccine mark. she was now most concerned about the latter and wonder if it is a known side effect.

"As noted in the Fact Sheet for Recipients, you should not get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of the vaccine or if you had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of the vaccine. The decision to receive the second dose for any other reason cannot be made by Pfizer. We refer you to speak to your healthcare provider about the risks of the vaccine compared to the risks of potentially not being fully protected against COVID-19 infection. Your healthcare provider knows your health situation and has access to information that can better help inform this decision. Caller is a female consumer who is calling in regards to adverse effects she has experienced since receiving her first dose on the Pfizer COVID 19 vaccine on 25Apr2021.

Her chiropractor states that on exam her legs down look swollen but that they feel swollen to the touch on 12May2021. He states that it should like an internal nerve problem. She have talked with multiple of her doctors and it seems like no one can give her any answers on if this was caused by the vaccine which she understand since it is so new and no one knows at this point. Which is fair but its frustrating at the same time. She had scheduled to get her second dose on Sunday but she don't know what she should do since she was having these symptoms. she just wanted to know if these symptoms have been reported. What is the effectiveness of the vaccine if she was to push out the timing of her second dose.

Caller reported that her chiropractor informed her that vaccines and viruses can both irritate everything in the body if the body is not firing 1000% on all cylinders inside.
