Symptom narrative

I received a Covid shot during my annual physical exam on September 16. I had the normal soreness at the injection site for the first couple of days, but then started experiencing numbness and tingling in my left arm. I hoped it would only be for a short time, but now it?s constant and possibly getting worse. It is very much like the feeling I experienced in my left hand before carpal tunnel surgery several years ago. I?m reporting this in case you track side effects of the new vaccines and also to seek your opinion whether this is a known side effect and if any treatment is recommended.
