Symptom narrative

pt states a couple of months after being vaccinated, he developed respiratory problems from a viral infection. He continued working but he had problems breathing. He became stiff, sore and lost weight rapidly. It was very difficult to get out of a bath tub. He was told he had permanent nerve damage. He had weakness in his hands but much worse in the left hand. He developed trigger finger in both hands. He was barely ambulatory. He had shoulder surgery with Dr. on his left rotator cuff and then developed infection in the shoulder and carpal tunnel in both hands. Bacteria ate away at his muscle and bones. He was referred to Neurologist. His rheumatologist at hospital thought he had ALS. His protein was high and wanted to start him on prednisone. He ended up taking meloxicam for a month but didn't like the side effects. He also had a detached retina. The viral infection has since improved. ALS and rheumatoid arthritis was ruled out. His hands no longer have the coordination that he used to have. His legs are still weak but are better and has permanent muscle damage in his arms and hands. He continues treatment under his PCP.
