Symptom narrative

Pain began radiating deep into my left shoulder from injection site. I work in health care, have had many vaccines, and never thought twice. Figured it was just a painful vaccine. the pain continued to spread over the course of the next few hours into my chest, other arm, fingers. I went to bed after telling my spouse I felt off but just wanted to sleep. I woke in the night screaming in pain. Upon arrival to the hospital my entire body ached and pulsated. I was in excruciating pain. I sat in the ER lobby for 2 hours. By the time I was actually seen by a physician another hour later, the pain had some what subsided.

Lab data

Xray, blood work. All negative. MD said to take 400mg ibuprofen. I stated that I would of done that and saved both our time if I was not in excruciating pain. He stated there was no way to prove the vaccine caused my symptoms and while he is sure it did, there is no true source of pain to treat. so with an opioid epidemic, the best he could do was ibuprofen over the counter.
