It felt different while she was walking, and she was feeling heaviness on her right breast. The next day her right arm was not hurting, but today her arm is hurting hard. She has been trying to drink a lot of water and juice, hoping it will get better. She does not take medications. This is the first time she has taken any medication in 20 years. She states yesterday was a little better, but not much of a difference. There was a very little difference between today and yesterday. Her breast and arm hurt worse whenever she is walking. She is fine, she knows this is because of the vaccine. She is asking should she be concerned. She did not want it initially. Everyone was taking it. She was not sure if she was doing the right thing by not taking it. She works. She felt pressure from society and her family to take the covid vaccine.
