Relevant laboratory tests and procedures are available in the appropriate section.  Additional information: The caller mentions she had a very mild reaction with the first shot and then it was a little more stringent on the second shot and lasted a few more days. Her feet in particular, she felt like they were bruised on the bottom. It was hard to stand up on her feet, especially on her left heel. She had severe heel pain, it felt like someone hit her with a hammer just on her heel. All of her joints in her feet ached all over. She has not had knee pain before. However, when she laid down at night, her knees were throbbing which has never happened before. She also had the chills. She had no fever, but just chills off and on for the first few days. She is still experiencing leg weakness. It's like the muscle in her legs are still weak, it is hard for her to stand up. She has to really be careful or she will fall backwards, it's like her legs don't want to lift her. She has always had chronic hip and back pain but it  feels like the pain has tripled and it hasn't gone away. If she would go back to the normal former pain level she had, that would be a relief. Prior Vaccinations (within 4 weeks) was none. She does get blood work done every 3 months for her regular doctor though.  No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
