Adverse Reaction Description: Following administration of the TDAP vaccine (Boostrix) in the left deltoid on 08/13/2025, I developed severe, persistent pain and loss of function in my left arm. Symptoms began 08/13/2025 shortly after the injection and have continued without improvement. Symptoms: ~ Constant, severe pain in the left deltoid and shoulder region, worsened by palpation or movement. ~ Pain radiates down the arm into the carpal region (wrist) and phalanges (fingers). ~ Inability to raise or rotate the left arm due to pain and restricted mobility. ~Difficulty or inability to perform everyday activities (lifting, reaching, dressing, work tasks). ~ Inability to sleep on the left side due to pain. ~Pain remains constant and has not improved over time. Functional Impact: ~Limited range of motion in the shoulder and arm. ~ Reduced ability to work and carry out activities of daily living. ~Persistent discomfort affecting rest, sleep, work and quality of life. Attempts at Follow-Up: I attempted to schedule a follow-up evaluation with the administering clinic soon after symptoms began. The clinic refused to provide an appointment, instead advising me to seek care at urgent care. I went to Urgent Care on 08/18/2025. At urgent care, I was informed that I should really be following up with the original administering clinic for evaluation and responsibility. I was only prescribed cyclobenzaprine, which I cannot take and safely work or drive as it gives me a hangover. When I eventually returned to the administering clinic, my concerns were dismissed without proper evaluation. Denial of Records: When I requested a copy of my Tdap vaccination record, the clinic staff refused to provide it to me, despite my explanation that it is part of my medical record and my legal right under HIPAA. Patients are entitled to full access to their own health records, and withholding this information not only violates my rights but also creates additional barriers to my ability to seek appropriate follow-up care and report my adverse reaction. I only received my vaccination record once I came to my scheduled follow-up exam on 08/27/2025 and threatened legal recourse if I was not given a copy of my vaccination record. Clinic Follow-Up: on 08/27/2025 ~Reported the pain and the loss of function of my left arm to the administering clinic. ~ My symptoms were not investigated, diagnosed, or properly documented. My concerns were completely disregarded ~No specialist referral was offered. I had to "beg" for imaging service, which they were reluctant to make for me; I quote they stated "this is not a normal request" ~The only prescription offered was pain medication (Gabapentin 100MG), which I cannot take safely while working or driving. I also did not want to take Gabapentin as it is just a nerve block and I wanted a diagnosis as to why I was experiencing such extreme pain and constant discomfort.. ~No guidance was given about reporting the adverse reaction or further evaluation. ~Concerns were dismissed without explanation of possible vaccine administration injury. A quote from Dr was " if the vaccine was wrongfully administered, what do you want me to do about it?"
