Symptom narrative

I was at my doctor's for a checkup for diabetes and bloodwork. They advised me to get a pneumococcal vaccine while I was there... very long needle! Right away there was a pretty bad soreness like you typically get from a shot, but it didn?t start subsiding for a long time, way over a month. It?s never completely gone away. This past month has been strenuous due to the season, packing up lots of orders, cleaning up after the storms, etc. and the pain has increased and my strength has decreased. Couldn't even manage taking down decorations. It keeps me up at night. Haven?t slept well for a month.

Current illness

N/A. Was there for a check on diabetes which is fully under control now with help of meds.
