Like a normal fat 70-year-old, he had many more Comorbidities. Patient received the Comirnaty Vaccine on 13Sep2024 Friday morning. He went to a wedding on Sunday. On Monday, the 16th, his legs started hurting him and that Monday night he had really severe pain/ nerve pain running down his back and the left leg and then there was weakness on his left leg. He took 200 mg of Celebrex Monday night at the 16th at around 11 pm and the pain was absolutely off the charts. The pain was absolutely incredible/unbearable. He was moaning in pain and he told his wife to bring/ drive him to the emergency room. Tuesday like 1 am, he left for the hospital. Tuesday 17th morning at 2 am, he was seen in the ER, emergency room at the hospital. In the emergency room, they gave him a whole messed up stuff and nothing really worked and finally they gave him 5mg of OxyContin that helped. He just want to add one another thing the pain was absolutely extreme, and can't imagine how bad. They gave him Oxycontin, he had Valium, he had Tylenol, he had a max. dose of Tylenol. max dose of Motrin, prescriptions for both of them and the Oxycontin. OxyContin, Valium, Tylenol, Motrin they were given to him in emergency room. He had some of them but not all of them but he did not have the one's that they gave him in the hospital, he had his own. Patient stated you have no idea, I had never, this is above anything, I do take a surgery. This was a whole different ball game, the amount of pain, it was off the charts, this was not from 1 to 10, this was like a 15. So, he never ever experienced pain like that. He has been on pain medications. Today was actually the first day, he was feeling a little bit better, the pain was subsiding. He had a CAT scan of hip, X-ray of pelvic area, everything was negative. He had an MRI of the back that hasn't come back yet. He had never ever had a pain like this in his life and he was a very tough guy. So, in fact, he do not know, little bit over a months ago, he had was first gout attack. Gout was really painful. This pain was a quantum leap above the gout and again, he had muscle weakness. He was assuming it was all going to go away because he was feeling a little better today. He still had plenty of pain but it was tolerable and he have been taking the OxyContin for a couple of days, he finally discontinued it. He was just on Celebrex now, for the pain and he have to see how he was tomorrow, he might reduce Celebrex tomorrow, taking 200 b.i.d. he could not support his weight on my legs because it was so painful and so weak but now he was doing better and actually navigating steps. So, it seems to be getting better where it was left again, it was not over, till it as over. Consumer stated, "he did not understand why cannot get someone. He was hard of hearing, he was an elderly individual. Why can't hr get someone who speaks as their primary language?"
