Symptom narrative

About five minutes after getting the shot, I started feeling a pain in the right side of my neck. Over the course of 24 hours the pain became so severe that I could barely turn my head. I had less than 3% mobility in all directions. Due to the neck pain swallowing was very difficult (it was not an anaphylactic reaction). I also had flu like symptoms which were tolerable. Approximately two weeks later I had severe painful spasms in my neck within an hour after waking for two consecutive days. After about 4 weeks all neck pain resolved. It took an additional week to get back my normal energy levels.
