Symptom narrative

Patient stated shoulder/arm pain was 'excruciating', fingers were tingling. Pain was bad enough that patient had to visit an urgent care. Patient was prescribed muscle relaxer (tizanidine) and methylprednisolone dose pack. Patient stated symptoms improved but then got worse again. Had pain on entire right side of body, needed to use a walker and wheelchair as pain made it difficult to walk. Said these symptoms continued for about a month before she had improvement. Patient discussed with her primary care provider however pharmacy was not contacted. Pharmacy first learned of her reaction when contacted to schedule 2nd dose. Pharmacist recommended patient not to received 2nd dose due to severity of reaction after 1st dose.
