Symptom narrative

After approximately 36 hours post vaccination I began to experience mild flu-like symptoms ( low fever, night sweating, upset stomach) in addition mild discomfort at injection site. On Monday 2/3/25 I woke up to intense and debilitating joint pain in my lower back which progressed the same day to both hips. Was in severe discomfort and was unable to stand up straight and could barely walk. The pain intensified over the next few days. On Wednesday 2/5/2205 the joint paint had not subsided and I began to experience muscle aches and spasms throughout both legs. It is now 2/17/25 and the pain is only beginning to subside with standing and walking becoming more comfortable. Prior to the shingles vaccination I had rarely if ever experience body aches and pains and had exercised daily for a minimum of 30 minutes. I am still unable to exercise.

Lab data

None. After the adverse sides effects from vaccination did not quickly subside I reported to the doctor's office on 2/17/2025 and they were not concerned about my adverse side effects and did not want to attribute my experience to the vaccination despite the fact that Dr had performed a wellness check on 1/28/2025 prior to the vaccination being given that did not yield any concerns or adverse health conditions.
