Rotator cuff syndrome

1.4.2021 – Mild discomfort in deltoid where vaccine administered.

1.7.2021 – Since yesterday, have had L scapular discomfort. 20 years ago I had these symptoms and was told I had rotator cuff tendon impingement, treated successfully with physical therapy. I bet that the return of my symptoms is related to mild inflammation in sub deltoid and sub-acromial bursar. To be clear, I had no swelling at the injection site, but am aware that the 1 inch needle can reach the areas I describe. I am doing the physical therapy exercises that I did 20 hrs ago and the symptoms will subside quickly. So this is more of a reaction to an injection rather than something specifically related to the Pfizer vaccine. (I'm a physician by the way)
