Symptom narrative

Client reports pain and swelling at injection site along with some malaise starting after vaccination on 12/18/24. Developed bruising to injection area. Client used analgesics and ice to area. Client stopped in to office today to show left arm to staff. Left upper arm has old bruising- yellow/purple in color. No warmth or redness known. Area of swelling closer to inner area just above elbow is noted by this author but he states that is not a new issue since vaccination. Reports no further discomfort but was concerned as bruising, although appears to be dissipating, remains after >45 days. Advised to continue to monitor and utilize heat/ice if necessary. See healthcare provider if concerns persist or symptoms worsen. Will discuss further COVID vaccinations with his healthcare provider and this agency.
