Clinical narrative: glove neuropathy; tingling in my left arm,felt like pins and needles; pinched nerve; numbness, spread to my left leg and soon spread to the entire left side of my body; This is a spontaneous report received from contactable reporter(s) (Consumer or other non HCP). The reporter is the patient.  A 56 year-old female patient (not pregnant) received bnt162b2 (BNT162B2), administered in arm left, administration date 27Feb2021 12:00 (Lot number: EV5318) at the age of 56 years as dose 2, single for covid-19 immunisation.

The following information was reported: NEUROPATHY PERIPHERAL (medically significant) with onset 01Mar2021, outcome "recovering", described as "glove neuropathy"; PARAESTHESIA (non-serious) with onset 01Mar2021, outcome "recovering", described as "tingling in my left arm,felt like pins and needles"; NERVE COMPRESSION (non-serious) with onset 01Mar2021, outcome "recovering", described as "pinched nerve"; HYPOAESTHESIA (non-serious) with onset 01Mar2021, outcome "recovering", described as "numbness, spread to my left leg and soon spread to the entire left side of my body". The events "glove neuropathy", "tingling in my left arm,felt like pins and needles", "pinched nerve" and "numbness, spread to my left leg and soon spread to the entire left side of my body" were evaluated at the physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: blood test: unknown result; electromyogram: unknown result; magnetic resonance imaging: unknown result; magnetic resonance imaging head: unknown result. Therapeutic measures were not taken as a result of neuropathy peripheral, paraesthesia, nerve compression, hypoaesthesia. Additional information: No other vaccine in four weeks. No covid prior vaccination, covid tested post vaccination: No. Adverse event: Soon after my 2nd dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine I had tingling in my left arm that felt like pins and needles. It continued for like that for a couple of months.I could shake my arm and it would stop, but the tingling always came back. I thought that I had a pinched nerve. In May the tingling, and then numbness, spread to my left leg and soon spread to the entire left side of my body....from the top of my head to the bottom of my foot. My doctor sent me for a brain MRI, spinal code MRI, numerous blood tests, and two EMG's. At it's worst, it spread to my right side and I had severe stocking and glove neuropathy. It was hard to type as the day would go on, as my hands were effected and it would feel like I was wearing ski boots. The effects slowly diminished and now just my left foot remains numb. My doctor was sure that this was a side effect of the vaccine.
