Additional information: The patient has been on heart medication for 20 years. Other medical condition: Consumer stated, "I am Overweight basically and I take medication for the blood pressure." Caller stated she has had 6 of the Pfizer covid shots and with the last one she has had a severe side effect and wanted to know if this has been reported or if it could be related to the lot number (HH7010).  She got the shot on January 6 at around 10 am in her upper arm at her local pharmacy.  There was not any vaccination received on the same day of Pfizer COVID 19 Vaccine. Within a few hours, she had a big bruise and her arm swelled up and was red.  The skin was hard and red and not just the area where she got the shot but the whole upper part of her left arm and it is still painful. The bruise was still there.  She can't move her arm like she normally could and can't lay on it. She read about covid arm and also wonders if the needle broke off in her arm. She is going to have an MRI to find out. When the pharmacist gave her the vaccine, her arm was wet, and they had to use a different bandaid. Consumer stated for previous dose, "I have had no soreness, no swelling nothing, just needle comes in needle goes out, no side effects at all. This last time after the pharmacist gave me the shot within a few hours my arm was bruised, it was swollen it hurt a lot and it never stopped hurting, it's not hurting as bad as it did in January but I am still having a lot of pain in my arm. I have kind of looked online about it and I read about it a little bit and it says it could be some I guess adverse reaction and that there is nothing I can do about it, I can get steroid shot or I can get physical therapy or something but I am wondering, my sister told me that just means arm swells up that is a normal reaction which I know it is but I would assume it should be gone by now." Consumer further stated, "I am happy with the product and even if I still had the pain in my arm, I would rather live with the pain in my arm then get sick." As for treatment: Consumer stated, "No, I usually don't take anything. I just noticed the swelling, it was just there I was just not a big deal." As for lab test: Consumer stated, "Not because of the shot I did but I do have some lab work. I just have some done today on 20Feb2024 because I was at the urgent care. I have blood work today on 20Feb2024, I had a basic metabolic panel, I had a bunch of stuff today. Rest of them under January."
