A 74-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), on 09Feb2021 as dose 1, single (Lot number: EM9809) at the age of 74 years for covid-19 immunisation; COVID-19 vaccine (COVID-19 VACCINE), as dose number unknown, single) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "mild asthma" (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: CERVICAL SPINAL STENOSIS (medically significant) with onset 10Feb2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "Cervical spinal stenosis-mild"; LYMPHOEDEMA (non-serious) with onset Feb2021, outcome "unknown", described as "lymphedema"; OVARIAN CANCER (medically significant) with onset 10Dec2024, outcome "unknown"; DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant), outcome "unknown" and all described as "mild covid"; FEMUR FRACTURE (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "femur break"; PNEUMONIA (medically significant), outcome "unknown"; ARTHRALGIA (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "right knee occasionally becomes painful/Experiences Joint pain in the right knee". The events "ovarian cancer", "femur break", "pneumonia", "cervical spinal stenosis-mild", "lymphedema" and "right knee occasionally becomes painful/experiences joint pain in the right knee" required physician office visit. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of ovarian cancer, cervical spinal stenosis. Clinical course: patient stated the she had her first Pfizer Covid shot on 09Feb2021. She didn't have trouble that day, the next morning she could not walk (10Feb2021) without a walker afterwards. She's had this feeling almost 3 yrs but haven't reported, after she had the first Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 shot everything was fine but when she slept at night but she couldn't walk since then. She was asking if there could be any problems walking after having the first Pfizer Covid shot. She's been to neurologists and they said they don't know why she couldn't walk, she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer recently on 10Dec2024. She did chemotherapy and everything and still wasn't able to walk, she's not able to walk without a walker. She also mentioned that she had a back surgery, but she couldn't walk before having the back surgery, the diagnosis was "Cervical spinal stenosis-mild". HCP told her it can decrease balance, she was not walking before she had the back surgery. She have used canes, walker, & a wheelchair. She had balance problems. She doesn't have any muscle pain. She had "Lymphedema" after the first Covid shot. Her right knee occasionally becomes painful. She mentioned that she's a very healthy person who couldn't walk without a walker. She had mild asthma that's why she had other covid shots and mentioned that she had any covid vaccine available. She had a femur break and got pneumonia. She acquired mild covid in the hospital anyway, she didn't notice that she had it. She already talked to too many people, she's been doing her research. She's been asking HCP and patients who experienced same side effects after the first shot. She's wondering why she couldn't walk when she got over cancer easily. She had no family history that had trouble walking. She had been to two neurologists, the other HCP was recommending a surgery to regain some balance and there's a good chance there's no change at all, so she was hesitant. She was told/suggested to see a physiatrist, to control pain. She has been to an orthopedic specialist, she had been to rehab and had physical therapy. She then mentioned she experiences joint pain in the right knee.
