Treatment information was not provided by the reporter.  Consumer who was a runner and biker stated that after getting the 2nd dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine she had edema of her whole body more exaggerated on the left side. Her face became puffy. She went to see a foot specialist who did some X-rays, but nothing was done. It was not exasperating, and it died down over summer. She called her pharmacist the clinical trials.  After getting her booster dose, her edema was exacerbated. She consulted her internist who referred her to a cardiologist. Her cardiologist told her that since her lymphatic system is no longer there, the fluid does not have the chance to drain, hence the edema. Her main concern was her neuroma on the left foot measuring 3.5 cm in diameter which is painful  like being stabbed in the foot and the edema in her left arm which is like elephantiasis - which is causing throbbing pain in her back. She might need surgery for the neuroma and draining of the fluid on her left arm. Because she is having fluid retention, she now has blurred vision and headache, and her blood pressure has increased. Her heart was also seen to be enlarged. She has an appointment with her cardiologist.  She was on Lasix.   This case was linked to MOD-2022-441586 (Patient Link).
