Symptom narrative

Went in for yearly well exam, was informed it was time to receive tdap vaccine as 10 years had lapsed. It was given in left arm by Medical Assistant. I started having quite a bit of soreness the day after and treated with ice and heat On Feb 26, 2025 I reached out to my provider to let her know of ongoing pain and discomfort. I had to go in to same day appointment (different provider) on March 19,2025 because I was having persistent pain. Oral steroids were prescribed as well as an ultrasound of the arm. Us was negative and steroid helped a little but the pain never went away so I reached back out to my provider and went in for an appointment on June 6, 2025 when she placed consult for me to see orthopedics and she ordered steroids orally again. I saw Orthopedic Doctor on June 30, 2025 who ordered physical therapy .
