Patient is not well and is very concerned about it. She didn't have a doctor for 10 years until she went a couple months ago because of the severe leg pain. She couldn't sleep, couldn't stand the sheet on her leg. She has been on feet her whole life. Was a hospital and surgical nurse. Then she did read a blurp about side effects and never thought about that. The more she thought, she did go to a primary care doctor. Her lab work was good except for Vitamin D3, which was low, not excruciatingly low. She now takes 5,000mg of vitamin D3 a day. Her doctor was going to write a prescription but she already takes vitamin D3 so she advised her doctor she'll just take more of it. Attempted to clarify dose of 5,000mg but caller would not reclarify. She has a follow up appointment on 01Jun2023, but she doesn't feel any better. Is having trouble walking. The pain went to her left arm, the middle of arm for 3-4 days. Then the left arm got better, but the pain went to the right arm. Her legs are still terrible. She doesn't know and all she is doing is asking questions because when she goes to see her primary care doctor. She is not a big doctor fan. If she's no better by 01Jun2023, primary doctor is going to send her to an orthopedic doctor for knee replacements. Caller states she doesn't need knee replacements. Seriousness criteria: Disabling at times. Always manages to get up in the night, just to get to the bathroom, but the paint is terrible then. It's excruciating, it's awful. During the day, she can tolerate it and not be in such terrible pain. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Blood test: good, notes: Her lab work was good; Vitamin D: low, not excruciatingly low, notes: Her lab work was good except for Vitamin D3, which was low, not excruciatingly low. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of malaise, pain in extremity, myalgia, arthralgia, gait disturbance, insomnia, dysstasia, vitamin d decreased.; Sender's Comments: As there is limited information in the case provided, the causal association between the reported events and the suspect drug BNT162B2 cannot be excluded.
