Symptom narrative

I was in pain for 3 wks following the 2nd booster. My arm was sore, itched but not severe to seek med attention. The pain can be described as if the vaccine attacked every inch of my body that already had arthritis, and made that arthritic pain ten-fold. I would never recommend this to anyone. Maybe if you are strong and young, but for me, my joints hurt like crazy. I would have taken my chances getting shingles had I known I would react this way. Had I not been given pain medication for something else, I would have had to go in to see dr. for this.
