Symptom narrative

Full inflammation of joints/muscles from neck to toes 24/7 hours per day/pain constant within 2.5 weeks after this shot; steadily increased the past years to present. Dr prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, heat/ice, rest - nothing helped. My primary & a rheumatologist specialist coordinated efforts, but nothing has worked to relieve the issues. They diagnosed vaccine injury/reactive arthritis from the covid booster, provided me information on the "spike protein" component that was in the booster shots.
