A 43-year-old female patient received the second dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration in the arm left on 11May2021 at 15:00 as single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. Medical history included stomach issues, ongoing lyme disease (this condition started and diagnosed about 10 years ago), hay fever, dust allergy, pollen allergy, animal dander allergy, motion sickness (this condition started probably before Lyme), patient said she got sick when she goes on boat; every time she was on a boat she lost her lunch. Family medical history included diabetes, but the patient has never had diabetes. Concomitant medications included ongoing promethazine for stomach issues (it is antihistamines, nothing radical and taking it since got Lyme disease about 10 years ago), ongoing Belsvia. The patient previously received the first dose of BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE), via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on 21Apr2021 at 14:30 (at the age of 43 years old) as single dose for COVID-19 immunization. The patient previously also received the flu shot several months before. No additional vaccines administered on same date of the Pfizer suspect. No prior vaccinations (within 4 weeks). No AE(s) following prior vaccinations. The patient got her second Pfizer covid vaccine on May 11 and felt like she was hit with a cannonball and was bedridden for a day. She had muscle aches on 12May2021 which she expected but now they seem to be isolated in part of her lower back and her glutes and it seems to be getting worse. Patient can barely move, sit down or stand up and it was a sharp shooting pain. All her other muscle pains have resolved. On 12May2021, patient had muscle aches which though was normal for the first couple of days and so most of the muscle aches went away except the patient back was destroyed that reported as worsened. Stated it was that side of the body in pain. The patient was trying to sit up right now and was having really sharp shooting pain on back. The patient figured this would have resolved itself by now. Stated she was kind of scared this might not go away. On 12May2021, patient arm was not sore anymore at all and eyes weren't burning anymore. The arm was sore day the day after receiving the second dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine, 12May2021. On 12May2021, patient had a fever and about 24 hours the fever lasted; could barely move;  burning eyes that back to normal and also lasted for 24 hours. The patient can barely move after receiving second dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine, sharp shooting pains, really, really bad. The patient can barely move, barely get in and out of cars, barely stand up from sitting position. The patient assumes this was a side effect of the second dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine and was it would dissipate by now, but it was getting worse and worse. The patient stated the pain was now isolated to the lower part of her back on the gluts. All muscles were sore, started to get worse, all muscles in whole body were sore but it was now isolated to that area. That was a really big deal, patient can barely function. Thought it would get better, thought it would resolve but it is getting worse. The patient can barely stand up or sit down, that's how bad the pain was. Patient stated it was a pure, really sharp pain and the patient got stuck. The patient got stuck taking a piddle on the toilet for like 15 minutes after the patient first received the second dose Pfizer Covid Vaccine. Patient thought it would go away. All patient's muscle were sore. Noticing it was isolated in that specific area. Pretty much the patient's whole body function was like lower back, whole gluts almost, mainly on injection side. Stated all soreness in whole body, like hit by a cannon ball. The pain in rest of muscles dissipated, they felt normal but the muscles above the gluts, patient's whole function, whole body function was obliterated right now. Whenever the patient tries to move, had a sharp piercing pain. The patient tried to make sure she slept good and in good positions and everything. The patient states she was kind of distracted. Patient can barely walk, she's experiencing sharp shooting pain and difficulty with normal everyday functions (she's been bedridden because even going to the toilet was a big deal, she got stuck and was unable to get up and sit down), she's concerned because the other side-effects resolved but she got the vaccine a week ago and it's getting worse, she had muscle pain in all of her body and it dissipated to her lower back and glutes and was extremely painful. Patient also had burning eyes but this symptom went away and fever. She would like to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this and if it's normal to experience these side-effects, particularly the severe debilitating muscle pain 7 days after the second dose of the vaccine because she still has this symptom and it's getting worse. Patient said she was stuck lying in bed. She said if she switches sides she got the sharpest pain and it was like she gets it in her organs, like her lung was being punctured. Her primary care didn't know her well enough to give her anything for the pain for a couple of days. The pain was sharp, shocking. She felt like its in her hips; she can't even use toilet on her own, it takes forever. She was un-functionable and obliterated. The walking issue started a couple days after the vaccine. It was with all the muscles in her body, she was bedridden. She expected it to resolve. She said it isolated to that area, ironically her arm wasn't sore anymore, nothing else, but she was extremely sore in that area in her glutes. It was getting worse and it made her panic, she was not walking, she was handicapped, she was completely crippled. Also said the muscle pain started the day after her vaccine and went for 7 days after. The difficulty walking start day was hard to say; it was a gradual manifestation and it was not like all of the sudden she got the shot and can't walk. It was several days getting worse and now was is sort of in demise. Clarified these events occurred after her second vaccine, she had no problems with the first. Patient also stated she thought she had developed transverse myelitis, inflammation of her lower spine from the vaccine, from second Pfizer vaccine, side effect, she can barely move. AE(s) did not require a visit to emergency room, for events not being able to barely walk and being in extreme pain that resulted in physician office visit and she went to the doctor's on 17May2021. No surgeries to report. Lab data included body height was 160 cm or 5 feet, 3 inches; patient weight was like 145 pounds. The outcome of events fever, burning eyes was recovered on 13May2021. The outcome of events transverse myelitis, feeling abnormal, bedridden, Movements reduced, Pain in arm, Panic disorder, Spondylitis, Distractibility was unknown; while of the other events was not recovered.
