A 64-year-old male patient received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), second dose via an unspecified route of administration on 17May2021 (at the age of 64-year-old, Batch/Lot Number: EW0177) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included was walking pneumonia twice and other than that just a typical flu. The patient races dirt bikes so he was tough. Also, he had carpel tunnel from his job, and he had left over pain pills from that, and he had been taking them to help reduce the pain since he cannot really do anything about his side effects. Concomitant medication included pain pills, no other products reported. The patient previously received bnt162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection), first dose via an unspecified route of administration on 26Apr2021 (Batch/Lot Number: EW0162) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation and on an unspecified date in Apr2021, experienced muscle stiffness and soreness that was in left arm and around his buttocks and his thighs and reported felt soreness for a few days afterward. This report is not related to study or programme. It was reported that, honestly, he wishes he never got it because he cannot do anything. He was on the fence about getting it since we are at the end of the pandemic and the hospitals are not as overwhelmed anymore. Everyone thinks that he was still in his 50's, he was very healthy, and he has no medical or health issues and he works out all the time, which was why he was so concerned about why it was affecting him like this. He has had his second dose of the COVID vaccine, and he wanted to report what was going on with his body. It was reported that, then he got the 2nd dose and within a day or two he was sore, and he was at the 11th day of experiencing this. He was sore and tight on his upper body like his chest, both arms, his shoulder blades, biceps, triceps, lower neck muscles and on his shoulder blades behind him. He had his 2nd dose not last Monday but the Monday before that. It did dissipate during the day. He jokingly said it was like the Pfizer vaccine retreats and hides during the day. Because of this he has had no decent sleep for the last few nights. His shoulder aches like someone took a bat and hit it. It feels like that on his left arm too but a little less pain. He was a side body sleeper, and he cannot sleep on his side because of this so then he ends up sleeping on his back with his mouth wide open which then makes him dehydrated of course. he has no energy, and the pain was like it was hitting a nerve where he barely can pick up 5 pounds. This was an extending issue and he just wanted to report and see if anyone else has had this before. The hospital said that they have not had anyone else report this before. It was slowly dissipating but he did not understand why it reinforces itself in the evening. Yesterday, he had to go service a customer and he was moving so slow and had lower back and thigh tightness. His upper body was sore and tight so when he got home, he was walking around trying to get his blood flowing and stretching some but then in the middle of the night those reserves came out and he gets attacked. The stiffness, soreness and pain were all concentrated mostly on his upper body. Also, his neck pops and he has never had that happen before. He looked it up and it looks like it was something with air in his bloodstream or something and when he rotates his head and looks around it makes a pop sound, and it has been doing it ever since his 2nd shot. He says this started probably on 18May2021 right after the vaccine. The patient clarified that for the side effects after his second dose that began soon after the COVID vaccine and he states that it was like all hell broke loose. This has gotten a little bit better but not a lot. Maybe 10% better or maybe 15% better. As he was sitting there his shoulder area on the right side was a little bit in pain. He feels like he was 80 years old, he was walking slow, and his body was stiff. No further details provided on the pain pills. He says he was flexing his bicep and he has some pain and there was pain in his triceps. He also has pain between those muscles, it hurts. It was maybe where he had the COVID vaccine. He also has this same pain on the left side except his bicep doesn't hurt but his tricep does and it hurts from his elbow down to his shoulder and it aches. On a scale of 1-10 his pain was at a 3-4 but at night it was worse. The patient and health care professional consent to be contacted was reported as yes. Investigation assessment was reported as no. The outcome of the events Sleep deficit, oral disorder, dehydration, hypokinesia, feeling abnormal was unknown and for all other events recovering.   Information on Lot/Batch number was available.
