Additional information: Patient had injection Mar2024, everything was fine, did not notice this right away, did not notice until about Apr2024. At the injection site, did not know how to say but, developed something hard, like a cyst. Kept thinking it is going to go away, it does not, it just stays right there. It did not bother him, is just there. Was about the size of, smaller than a dime, was just hard on outside, could kind of feel it below the skin. Clarified, hardness in right arm, at injection site, size was about smaller than pea size, size of kernel of corn. Did not really stick up that much, sticks up about probably, just a centimeter or so, is round. Outcome of event: Still has this now, just getting around to reporting it. Kept thinking it will get better, had stayed about the same. Lost 15 pounds: Want to add 2 fact, that does not have anything to do with this. In May2024, for an unknown reason, lost 15 pounds. They always ask if he has lost weight. They followed up on him, he was 100 percent OK. Lump in abdomen: Even went to have PET scan because he had large lump in abdomen, about size of softball. They just think it is a lipoma. Because it was a lipoma, they are just leaving it there, just has it. Outcome of event: Can only go by feeling it, it feels a little better, thinks it went from hard ball to a softball. Indication: It was due. had gotten them all as they came out. PET scan for lump in abdomen: negative, was a good PET scan. No Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No family Medical History Relevant to Adverse Events (AEs). Would like to know is there some way they can get rid of this lump, dissolve it or whatever? Caller has also a question regarding Eliquis. While caller locating vaccination card, caller stated, he takes Eliquis, which is Pfizer. Caller mentioned he recently starting to take it and wonder if they make it in the PRIVACY territory.
