OT: very sore shoulder still 2 weeks after IM vaccine

Sorry to hear. I’ve heard an array of side effects from the vaccine.

Two of the neighbors had severe reactions. Almost hospitalized. Breathing was the biggest issue. They both recovered after 12 hours.

Most report mild case of fatigue and soreness in the arm. My arm felt sore for a couple days and I was good after that (for both shots). My wife got J&J and said the same.

I’d probably give your doc or CDC a call. If it’s a prevalent issue, I’m sure they’ll have some advice for you.

You need to wait more. That will be $270.

It sounds like they might have hit something they shouldn't have. These shots were the least painful I can remember. The flu shot is definitely worse as far as immediate pain at the site.

The main concern with J&J is the rare occurrence of clotting. However, the signs of that are: "severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath within three weeks of receiving the J&J vaccine." Someone did manage to kill one person that had clotting issues because they didn't realize that the people that had clotting issues with the vaccine would also have problems with Heparin, which is a common treatment for clotting. Although I think nowadays there are better treatments for clotting.

Way too long, see doctor.

At $270 a response, we're going to end up taking well more than your doctor will charge. Make an appointment to see one.

Guessing the needle hit a nerve, but why take a chance. Go see a doctor.

Little late now, be couldn't you get a replacement verification card from where ever you received the 1st shots? Surely the have records.

It shouldn’t have hurt going in.
Maybe they hit or compressed a sensory nerve.
I think the passage of time will be your ally here.

^This. Must've accidentally hit a nerve or cluster. I didn't even feel them jab me.

I lost my Pfizer card months ago and had no proof…so I didn’t even need this stupid shot

Not sure where you got your shots administered, but I got mine through Walgreens, and had my shot history on their app.

May be worth looking into, so you have it digitally. I also took a photo of my card so I can show that along with my license, if needed.

My second Moderna felt like a tetanus shot for about 48 hours then good to go. I did a bunch of deployments and still consider the anthrax series to be the most painful, so I guess my pain bar is high. But there's NFW a shot site should hurt that long.

I guess I missed the anthrax vaccine. Not that I didn't feel like a pincushion a couple of times.

We put our family's in the fireproof safe, along with all our important documents. That is going to be needed for air travels, work, etc.

Big agree with this, there could be an underlying condition.
