Symptom narrative

Within 6 hours of the first injection, I began to experience severe pain in feet and ankles. I got worse over the next 12-18 hours to the point I could not walk without the assistance of a cane or crutches. The pain subsided after 24 hours. I received the 2nd injection on 05/11/2021. Same adverse outcome and same timeliness as first injection. Since then, I experience severe joint pain with swelling and redness in my ankles, feet, and toes very similar to the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Symptoms last from a few hours per episode to several weeks.
