Symptom narrative

Patient reported feeling pain in injection site on 10/8/2024 a few days after receiving the vaccine on 10/4/2024. Patient reported unable to use the left arm to reach across her body nor could she lift the left arm. She took acetaminophen and ibuprofen on 10/31/24 for her arm pain and did some massage and physical therapy. She also had lidocaine patch and prednisone 20mg once daily prescribed to her on 11/22/24 for her arm pain. The doctor noticed she had lost muscle in the left arm at that time. On 2/6/25, she had a physical exam with her doctor, and she still has some residual pain. Today on 3/6/25 she called our pharmacy and reported the injury and that she feels better but some movements still hurt and the injection site still tender, but the pain is very mild now. She stated that taking the prednisone 20mg once daily for 5 days in November really helped with her pain.
