Symptom narrative

When shot was administered I informed nurse that it felt like she hit a bone. Next day upper shoulder joint was painful, 2nd day upper shoulder joint and upper back are in and still are in severe pain. I can not get dressed or do ordinary daily activities without being in severe pain. Seems vaccine was administered in my shoulder joint, not the muscle in my arm and now I wonder if the vaccine is even effective.

Lab data

Sought medical attention from same place on 5/12/2025. Was told to alternate taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen, put heat on it and also to crawl my fingers up a wall for therapy. All of which I was already doing without any relief. Today, 5/13/25 saw my primary care physician, who prescribed 500 mg of Naproxen twice a day for pain and inflammation. Also gave a referral to a physical therapist.
