Clinical narrative: Information has been received from a pharmacist on 28-MAY-2010 concerning a 23 year old female. The patient had received a first dose of GARDASIL (lot # not reported) in her arm on 20-APR-2010. Immediately after vaccination the patient presented with injection site pain which lasted for a week (recovered on 26-MAY-2010). One month after vaccination (on approximately 20-MAY-2010) the pain returned radiating from shoulder to elbow and preventing the patient from making certain movements. The patient was treated with anti-inflammatory cream. At the time of reporting the patient had not recovered. Follow-up information received on 02-SEP-2010: The patient had received the first dose of GARDASIL (lot # 0777X, batch # NJ35160) via intramuscular route in the left arm on 20-APR-2010. She received the second dose of GARDASIL (lot # NJ49350, batch # NL35360) via intramuscular route in the left arm on 24-JUN-2010. One month after each vaccination, the patient experienced incapacity to move the arm during 7 days and formications in the vaccinated arm which lasted 4 days. The most severe pain had regressed at the injection site but the patient had always a persistent pain at the injection site when touching the arm. According to the reporter, the events were moderate and not serious and the patient was on her way of recovering at the time of reporting. A corrective version was created on 25-NOV-2010: upon internal review, "paralysis of arm" was considered as an important medical event and the case was upgraded to serious.

Vaccine: TTOX
Symptoms: Arthritis, Blood urine present, Haematochezia, Headache, Mobility decreased
Clinical narrative: Swelling of the shoulder and could not move my arm and nausea and had a shot fifteen years ago and never had a reaction at all.  It has been a year and I still have pain and can't move arm back to put seatbelt on and it radiates up my neck and gives me headaches and it is just the worst thing I ever did.  Had a Nerve Conduction Study and that was fine and had an x-ray and that showed a little Arthritis but very slight and my doctor mentioned maybe a bad batch of the shot because he had others with adverse reactions.  I am not sure what all is really wrong with me as now I have blood in urine and stool so who knows what damage it has caused but I feel like I might not get full use of my arm since I had this done and pray I get nothing else from it.  Please look into this for me as I am at my wits end and my Dr. mentioned a Cortisone shot which I don't want.  Thanks for your time and interest in this matter.
