Symptom narrative

The patient reports that approximately a week after he received his covid shot this year, he experienced a blood clot in his leg. he is due to have knee surgery at the start of 2026 so they are monitoring his leg and did not notice any clots during previous appointments. He did not report any other changes in his life other than receiving his covid and flu shots this year. In past years, he has received the Moderna shot without any issues but received the Pfizer shot this year so the doctor thinks it may be related. He has begun treatment using Eliquis to try to treat/prevent future clots. He also reported that he had bumped his left arm in the days following his shot and it bruised like he was on blood thinners so he thinks it may have affected some clotting.
