Vaccination history included: BNT162b2 (Dose 1, Intra-muscular, Lot number: ER8731), administration date: 18Apr2021, when the patient was 55-year-old, for Covid-19 immunisation, reaction(s): "Difficulty in walking", "Hip replacement", "Irritable bowel syndrome", "Skin oozing", "Skin plaque", "Vaccination adverse reaction", "Hives", "Pinched nerve", "Joint disorder", "Allergy aggravated", "Psoriasis", "Sinus congestion", "Nasal sinus discharge", "Sore throat"; BNT162b2 (Dose 2, Intra-muscular, Lot number: EW0185), administration date: 08May2021, when the patient was 55-year-old, for Covid-19 immunisation, reaction(s): "Difficulty in walking", "Hip replacement", "Irritable bowel syndrome", "Skin oozing", "Skin plaque", "Vaccination adverse reaction", "Hives", "Pinched nerve", "Joint disorder", "Allergy aggravated", "Sinus congestion", "Nasal sinus discharge", "Sore throat", "Psoriasis". The following information was reported: SKIN PLAQUE (medically significant) with onset 30Mar2022, outcome "recovered" (2022), described as "plaque on thumb/ plaque on right thumb"; PSORIASIS (medically significant) with onset Apr2022, outcome "not recovered", described as "psoriasis scale on both ears/psoriasis in ears with Humira"; SKIN WEEPING (medically significant) with onset May2022, outcome "unknown", described as "oozing of liquid on ears/skin oozing"; IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (medically significant), outcome "unknown"; IMMUNISATION REACTION (medically significant), outcome "recovering", described as "Vaccination adverse reaction"; URTICARIA (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Hives"; NERVE COMPRESSION (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Pinched nerve"; HIP ARTHROPLASTY (medically significant), outcome "recovered", described as "hip replacement"; ARTHROPATHY (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "joint did not fit properly on the socket"; HYPERSENSITIVITY (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "increased environmental allergies"; SINUS CONGESTION (medically significant), outcome "unknown"; SINUS OPERATION (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "sinus drainage"; OROPHARYNGEAL PAIN (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "Sore throat". The action taken for adalimumab was dosage not changed. The reporter considered "irritable bowel syndrome", "hip replacement", "oozing of liquid on ears/skin oozing" and "plaque on thumb/ plaque on right thumb" not related to BNT162b2. The reporter considered "vaccination adverse reaction" related to BNT162b2. The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of "hives", "pinched nerve", "joint did not fit properly on the socket", "increased environmental allergies", "sinus congestion", "sinus drainage", "sore throat" and "psoriasis scale on both ears/psoriasis in ears with humira" with the suspect product(s) BNT162b2 was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment. Solicited report by a consumer of a 52 year old male with events of hard time walking, puts pressure on the legs, torn cartilage wen patient was knocked down and hip replaced and non-serious irritable bowel syndrome, oozing of liquid on ears/skin oozing, plaque on thumb, plaque on right thumb, side effects from covid shots and booster, hives off and on possibly caused heat, pinched nerve in back, torn cartilage wen patient was knocked down, joint did not fit properly on the socket, increased environmental allergies, sinus congestion, sinus drainage, sore throat and psoriasis scale on both ears/ psoriasis in ears with Humira 40mg/0.4ml (adalimumab). Information was also received from a healthcare professional. On unknown dates, the patient experienced irritable bowel syndrome, side effects from covid shots and booster, hives off and on possibly caused heat, pinched nerve in back, joint did not fit properly on the socket, increased environmental allergies, sinus congestion, sinus drainage and sore throat. In 2018, the patient experienced torn cartilage wen patient was knocked down and torn cartilage wen patient was knocked down. In 2018, the torn cartilage wen patient was knocked down resolved. On 12Aug2021, the patient experienced hard time walking, puts pressure on the legs. In Sep2021, the hard time walking, puts pressure on the legs resolved. On 22Nov2021, the patient experienced hip replaced. On 30Mar2022, the patient experienced plaque on thumb. In Apr2022, the patient experienced psoriasis scale on both ears/ psoriasis in ears. In May2022, the patient experienced oozing of liquid on ears/ skin oozing and plaque on right thumb. In 2022, the plaque on thumb resolved. On an unknown date, hip replaced resolved. Pfizer biontech covid-19 vaccine (tozinameran) was also considered suspect. The patient had second left knee surgery in 2018, the procedure was to scope the remaining cartilage that was torn when he was knocked down. He had left hip replaced on 12Aug2021, because he had difficulty walking, puts pressure on the legs. He mentioned that the joint did not fit properly on the socket. He had Irritable bowel syndrome. He had side effects from covid shots and booster. He had hives off and on possibly caused heat and Pinched nerve in back. He had to stopped Humira for six months because of a hip replacement. He also mentioned he has spinal injection every six months for the pinched nerve on his back. the alternative etiology for the event hard time walking, puts pressure on the legs was reported as pinched nerve on the back. He moved about two years ago and has been having increased environmental allergies since moving. He had sinus congestion, drainage and sore throat and had psoriasis in his ears and it had now gone away since restarting injections. His skin was cracking and oozing. It was unknown if patient was enrolled in a Covid-19 Vaccine Trial.
