It was unknown if therapeutic measures were taken as a result of pain in extremity, pain, skin discolouration, varicose vein, arthralgia, joint stiffness, peripheral swelling, fatigue, flushing, urticaria, hypoaesthesia, feeling cold, muscle twitching, neuropathy peripheral, burning sensation, musculoskeletal stiffness, myalgia, rash erythematous, muscular weakness, trigger finger. The patient reported pain/stiffness in all joints of fingers would come and go; and the rash on her knee was present for a couple days then returned for a couple of more days. She reported that 9-months post shot, she had the bilateral finger stiffness unable to flex fingers completely, bilateral muscle weakness in fingers, bilateral pain in fingers, fingers feels swollen, developed bilateral trigger finger in pinky fingers, bilateral foot pain/stiffness (foot pad). Since vaccination the patient had not been tested for COVID.
