Symptom narrative

pt states after a couple of days of getting the first dose of the vaccine he started having pain in his right arm at the injection site. As time went on the pain continued to move down his arm but the major pain is at the injection site. He contacted his doctor to let them know he was in pain and he was told to come in to have a steroid shot. He did not go in to have the shot. He had to go to the ER on 7/17/2025. He was told by Dr that he had an infection. He was given an IV with antibiotics and pain medication. He was discharged to home and prescribed Amoxicillin, amox-clav 125 mg, naproxen 500 mg, and cyclobenzaprine 10mg. He continues to be in pain and will need to follow up with his primary doctor.
