ArthralgiaImmediate post-injection reactionInjected limb mobility decreasedInjection site painLoss of personal independence in daily activitiesMusculoskeletal stiffness

Symptom narrative

Patient had injection site pain immediately following administration as she normally does after immunizations, however 2-3 hours following administration the pain began to spread to her shoulder and create stiffness. It kept getting worse for 1-2 weeks, but then stopped getting worse and has been a constant and stable pain for about three weeks. She still cannot move her arm above her shoulder. She reached out to her PCP a couple weeks ago and his office told her to make an appointment if it did not improve. She said she has not had time to make an appointment and can't miss any more work for additional doctor's appointments. She said it does still impact her daily activity, but does not interfere with sleep (aside from it being more difficult to get out of bed).
