Symptom narrative

After receiving the vaccine, my arm was very sore and I could not raise it above shoulder height (not too unexpected). The injection site (left arm) has remained red and tender for 2 days. The worst (and reason I wanted to report) was the morning after the shot (Friday 6/20/25) my whole body (shoulders, arms, legs joints, etc.) was STIFF so much so that I remained in bed for about 2.5 hours after my normal wake up time (7:30am). I got up and too two Aleve (noproxen sodium 220mg) liquid gel caps and I felt much better within about one hour of taking the meds. I just wanted to report this because I didn't read "muscle stiffness" as a possible side effect. Thank you.
