Clinical narrative: a rash breaking out; pain in the right and left hip that changes; back pain; caused something with her kidney; problems with her left ankle and calf.; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer (patient herself) via Pfizer-sponsored program. A 63-year-old female patient received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot Number: EW0170, Expiration date: unknown) via an unspecified route, administered in Left Arm on 24Apr2021 at 13:30 (63-year-old at vaccination) as a Dose 2, single for COVID-19 immunization. The patient's medical history was none. There were no concomitant medications. The patient previously received BNT162B2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE, Formulation: Solution for injection, Lot Number: EP7533, Expiration date: unknown) via an unspecified route of administration on 03Apr2021 at 13:30 (63-year-old at vaccination) as a Dose 1, single for COVID-19 immunization. She had an adverse event after the first dose where she needed to have steroid treatment. 12 hours after the first vaccine she felt like she was out for the count, she could not walk and could not stand. She went for 5 steroid treatments that were every two weeks due to sciatic problems. After second dose of vaccination, she mentioned, every once in a while, she would have a rash breaking out, pain in the right and left hip that changes. She does not have sciatica any longer. Stated it felt like a little gremlin in her body. Last week the pain was in her right hip and this week the pain is in her left hip. She was always having problems with her left ankle and calf. She had rash that comes and goes in the same place, which was the weirdest thing, located around left ankle. She went to get blood work on 06Apr2021 or 13Apr2021 after the leaving doctor's office. She had a 24 hour urine test to see if anything happened to her bladder, thought that maybe the back pain had caused something with her kidney. The kidney study and labs clarified to be done on 13Apr2021. On 24Apr2021, she was sent to get a doppler on her leg to make sure she did not have a blood clot and confirmed she did not have one. She felt a lump on her thigh right now which she never had before. It does not hurt but she just felt it. Her primary doctor gave her a series of 4mg dose pack and then was told to go to the orthopedic doctor and was given 20mg. She was on the second round, her regular doctor prescribed 20mg again. As soon as she came of it, then the pain comes back. She was also given tramadol to help. She was going to a chiropractor and was told that he could not help her anymore. Investigation assessment was performed. She mentioned that she took vaccine as she had been out of work for a while, so she had to get it to go back to work and did her due diligence. She enquired about compensation since insurance would not cover it. The patient underwent lab tests and procedures which included blood test: unknown result on 06Apr2021, 24 hour urine test: unknown result on 13Apr2021, kidney test: unknown result on 13Apr2021. The outcome of the events was unknown.
