She has also noticed that it sometimes spreads to the top of her foot. Neither her foot doctor nor her primary doctor know what to do about it. Caller was called in regard to the Prevnar 20 vaccine. On 25Feb2025, received it, arm was fine but toe next to big toe was inflamed. Clarified as on the right foot. It was swollen and very sore. It was kind of a dark pink. Used Epsom salt, stated she was a retired nurse. It occurred the day after got the vaccine. Went to a foot doctor and she didn't quite know and now caller was kind of stuck. Calling to report it and ask has anyone reporting has a reaction like this. It was very painful. She has never had anything like this happen. She would guess she was pretty healthy; she was just injured. Started as very little discomfort, as days went by it got more uncomfortable and started swelling. It was the toe next to the big toe, usually was tall and skinny, looks more like a thumb now. It has gotten a little worse. The top part of foot was starting to swell. Noticed because wears open toe sandals, they are marking the foot now. No interventions besides seeing the foot doctor.
