Symptom narrative

pt says that the day after being vaccinated she had pain in the arm about 2 or 3 inches below the injection site. The following week after the vaccine she had a big black and blue mark that appeared. She called the doctors office about it and was told to apply heat. Now she is starting to loose mobility in the left arm and her right arm is becoming very weak. She has a lot of pain in in the left arm. She went to the doctor and was told to apply ice. This helped very little. She uses a heating pad to help with the pain so she can sleep, but the pain is still present when waking up. She continues to loose strength in both arms and continues to have pain in the left arm.
