Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Sciatica
Clinical narrative: The sciatic pain increased dramatically after the first injection.  It was so bad that I was practically confined to my bed or chair/couch.  At first, I thought the increase in pain was due to my increasing activity level.  However, another round of steroids had no effect, and all of the other pain management strategies I normally use were ineffective.  It wasn't until the day before my second injection that I ran across information indicating that the inflammation created by the vaccine could cause joint and nerve pain.  When I arrived for the second injection, I asked the medical professional on-site about it.  She said that the vaccine could definitely have caused the severe pain I'd experienced over the last month.  She even suggested that some patients report that the second injection ameliorates negative effects of the first one. A few days after my second injection, the pain levels decreased and recently returned to pre-vaccine levels.

Clinical narrative: After the vaccine I had pain/soreness in my shoulder for the next two days but I knew that was to be expected from the shot.  After 2 or 3 more days the pain had subsided some but I was still experiencing a good amount of pain in my shoulder.  After 2 weeks or still having pain I scheduled an appointment to see my physician.  My physician prescribed diclofenac and told me to take them for 2 or 3 weeks to see if that would resolve my pain.  After 3 or 4 weeks I was still having pain so my physician referred me to an ortho specialist. At the time I was having trouble with waking up at night due to the pain so he gave me a cortisone shot and scheduled me a meeting with the physical therapist.  Initially, the cortisone shot worked and I no longer had any pain.  At this point the PT told me as long as I wasn't having any pain we didn't need to continue scheduling meetings but if the pain came back to call in and schedule an appointment. Right at the one month mark I began having pain in my shoulder again and scheduled an appointment for PT.  I had 5 PT sessions scheduled over roughly 2 months.  The pain did seem to decrease but an issue I continued to have was doing certain activities caused the pain to come back. On April 29th I had a follow up with my Ortho Dr. and he scheduled a MRI and an EKG.

Clinical narrative: I got the shot around 11am Thursday 4/29, worked the rest of the day (office job, at home) by evening I felt kind of run down and tired.  Relaxed and watched tv in bed a lot of the evening.  Slight headache, couldn't get to sleep but stayed in bed.  Around 3am that night I decided to get up and get some ibuprofen from the kitchen.  By the time I reached the kitchen, I felt woozy, like I had stood up too soon.  Stopped for a moment till I felt steady and then continued to walk to the cabinet, I also was going to take a xanax to help me sleep (prior to this I had not taken a xanex for probably 4-6 weeks).  I put the xanax in my mouth, grabbed the bottle of ibuprofen and felt like I should lay back down asap.  Took a few steps and passed out and hit my head on small round table shelf.  When I came to, I realized I had not even swallowed the xanex yet, it was still in my mouth. I'm guessing I wasn't out long but my husband didn't hear me fall so that is unclear.  After I woke up and got back in bed, I realized my head was bleeding some from hitting the table.  It appeared to be a small cut on the back of my head and I did not seek medical attention.  I do intend to go to dr to get checked out for what I am guessing is a mild concussion, I have an appt for tomorrow.  There seem to be 2 areas of impact on my head.  I am assuming the back of my head hit the table shelf (near the floor), which was cracked from my head hitting it, and the other impact is to the right side of my head, which I assume is from the table leg.  I think there is only a cut on the back of my head, and not the right side.
