He reported that after his 2nd COVID-19 Vaccine shot, the next day on 24Feb2021, he had some aches & pains, but the aches & pains were not really that bad. He said he had a little bit of aches & pains and then it didn't bother him. He said right now he had really bad arthritis pain. He said he had a hard time getting out of bed. He said he didn't have that before he had the COVID-19 Vaccine. He said he had some aches and pains, and now had arthritis pain. He said he doesn't know if his arthritis pain had anything to do with the COVID-19 Vaccine, but it may, and he wanted Pfizer to know that. He said he felt terrible. He said he can't get himself out of bed, and was having a hard time. He said he can't take NSAIDs because of his kidneys, and was using Tylenol, but the Tylenol was not helping much at all.

He had pain in his shoulders, legs, hips, and everywhere since he got his second COVID-19 Vaccine. If the vaccine was supposed to boost his immune system and maybe now his immune system may be attacking his joints, causing this joint pain.

He was taking Pharmacy Brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500mg caplets for arthritis pain, and the Pharmacy Brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500mg was not helping much at all and he started taking Tylenol 8HR Arthritis Pain instead of the Pharmacy Brand Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500mg caplets. He said the Tylenol 8HR Arthritis Pain helped a little bit. He said he needed a magnifying glass to read the product information because the print was so small on the Tylenol 8HR Arthritis Pain bottle.
