Symptom narrative

Got the shot on 1/4/25. Starting feeling the sore arm within hours of the shot and as the days went on it got more painful and was not able to use my left are for much of anything as my range of motion became extremely limited. I ask my primary and she said if it didn't feel better in a few days she would look into it. I then had other test done because as you know if you say you have any pain in your arm and hands they run all kids of test and she did. Once she realized I was not having stroke symptoms she suggested we give it time and that we needed to focus on another issue I was having. Nothing pertaining to the arm of course. It is now April and I need to get the second shot and at this appt the person asked if I had any issues with the first shot and I said yeas and that I am terrified of getting this second shot needed. I explained that I still have limited range of motion with severe upper left arm pain and she gave me this information.
