On evening of vaccination, started to feel very sick with strong joint pain. This felt like a very strong case of the flu; it persisted for 2 days. Since receiving the shot, I also feel a painful tingle around half of my left ankle (where the foot folds toward the lower leg; not on the heel side). It's a disagreeable, localized, but not very strong pain, best described as a burning or needling, that is most pronounced at bedtime and in the morning when I get up. There is no rash associated with it. The skin is not dry or otherwise impacted. I do not use any ointment or lidocain cream on the area, as pain is bearable and does not prevent me from falling asleep.
occasional arthritis pain
None except for Item 11
I may have taken Celecoxib 200 mg or Tylenol 8h the morning of vaccination (I only take as needed)
None
Area was visually inspected by my family doctor on 4/9/2025, but no visual marks. No other tests were performed. Based on my strong reaction to the first immunization, my family doctor advised to not take 2nd shot. - I received Zostavax in Nov2016, but did not have a notable reaction to the vaccine.
