Symptom narrative

Intense pain, swelling, and redness at injection site. "Much worse than any other vaccine I've ever had, and I've had a lot of vaccines." Severe arm pain, not the typical muscle soreness, much more severe on Day 1. On Day 2, patient reports feeling "horrible" body aches, fever, extremely sick feeling. Day 3 redness is spreading out around injection site and further down upper arm and is now itching severely and not just on skin, feels like it is itching in the muscle.
