Bruise like feeling in armpit of vaccination arm

Not sure if it could be related in any way but, I developed a new ache in my left palm near my ring finger metacarpal. Off and on ache/burning. Mostly when making squeezing motions. It's gotten better but was very random and has never happened.

Never know what's related or not but shoulder pain in the arm I did NOT receive my booster in

My legs want to cramp up below the calf and my joints in my hands and wrists are achy- I dont know if this has anything to do with the shot, but they are not normal in general for me.

My sinuses are hurting and my eyes are watering. Dont know if its related to the vaccine or not.

I have noticed more hair loss than usual & varicose veins seem to have popped out more than usual. My auto immune symptoms seemed to increase but overall I could deal with everything. Im sure theres several people that are worse off.

Post long hauler effects, teenagers had RSV, mom( me) was 3 COVID negative but my provider said all my symptoms no taste,smell, lethargic, extreme brain fog, and cognitive issues have increased.

Rash vesicular, Atrial flutter and Eye disorder

I have a heart condition call SVT. I had a episode of atrial flutter that required an electrical shock. This was yesterday, today I feel good. Don't believe it is related to the vaccine. This has been a years long issue. See above.

Some heart arrithnias. Have a history. Don't know if it's vaccine related.

Skin rash. Similar to Shingles. Have had Shingles in the past and have had both vaccines. Not as bad as full blown Shingles.

Flank pain, Dyspepsia and Vomiting

Vomiting heartburn nausea

I just feel like I was hit by a bus as the saying goes.

I havent felt right since getting the vaccine

Just a feeling of not feeling well. If I could go back I would not take the shots

Flank pain and diarrhea

I have not been the same since I have been vaccinated. Nobody has reached out to check in on me or get further details about how I feel. I think that you truly only want to hear and report what you want to and not what real people like me are going t

I have not been the same since I got the shot and nothing has been looked at just these wellness check ups

Quarantine, Brain fog and Anosmia

01/14: pain and redness at injection site; tingling fingers and neck muscle pain on same side.01/15-18: splitting headache and severe neck pain; ibuprofen/apap around the clock; MD thinks muscle spasms related to 01/14.

I had a second occurrence of severe neck and back spasms on my right side. I had this same effect about a week after my first vaccine and physician determined it was an inflammatory response to vaccine. Lasted about 3 weeks in July.

Currently quarantining with COVID symptoms and exposure. Headache, fatigue, cough, mild sore throat, "brain fog", muted sense of taste and smell x4 days. Tested negative on rapid x4.

Depression, Urticaria and Erythema

Yesterday, the day after my shot, I forgot to say that I experienced some brain fog and minor depression. I am fine today.

The redness at my injection site has gradually spread down my arm to my elbow over the last week. A red welt has come up on my face, right cheek.

I have chronic lymphocytic leukemia and my oncologist prescribed an spike antibody test since many people with CLL do not make antibodies after vaccination. Sadly I am in that group: my antibody test was negative.

I have had diarrhea every day since my vaccination. After the first day when I had no other symptoms, I assumed something else was causing diarrhea. Now I am not so sure.

I got a fluzone shot yesterday and I think fever and aches are from that , not my coronavirus shot a week ago.

Vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue On 10/10, these symptoms started after we returned from a trip. I thought it was either food poisoning or the norovirus. Not sure. I had a negative antigen test.

Respiratory tract infection, Swollen tongue and Gastroenteritis viral

These may be due to my arthritis and not being able to take my aleeve

These may be enhanced due to not resuming my Aleeve yet for arthritis and degenerative disk disease.

My tongue swelled a little

Sinus infection

10 day low grade fever. 99.9 degrees, my usual temp is 97.0

I tested positive today for covid

Tested positive for Covid Saturday

Oligomenorrhea, Amenorrhea and Menstruation delayed

My menustration cycle is late after the vaccine and I am 100% not pregnant.

Menstral cycle is still delayed. Missed due to vaccine.

Menstral cycle is still off cycle. Comes very late or unpredictable when it comes on. And when on, it lingers sporadically after its typical time (longer than a week). These are new symptoms since the vaccine. I have not yet seen a doctor, but will

My menstruation cycle has now completely stopped after becoming very inconsistent after the vaccine.

Serum ferritin decreased, Muscle fatigue and Limb discomfort

Pain lymph nodes under arm on side of shot

Neck and mid back pain

Neck ache

Ferritin has been low since 2nd covid shot. Symptoms are pins and needles in hands and feet. Tired heavy legs, ringing ears headaches. I know lots people who had low ferritin post vaccine. Low iron post shot is getting overlooked. I saw many physicians including neurologist post shot. Took lots of tests and scans to find a ferritin of 18. I have battled low ferritin this whole year. I have never had health or ferritin issues

Heart rate increased, Palpitations and Asthenia

Don't know if it is related but I have been real dizzy and fast pulse rate today.

I seem to be weak, can't do much without having to rest. Not usual for me. Don't have a way to check but feels like my heart races and a little short of breath. Not bad enough that I think I need a doctor...I still do what I have to, just slower.

Contacted covid in late January. Confirmed by home test. I got over it without medication. My husband was sick at the same time and took what our doctor prescribed. Was sick about 2 weeks.

Vision blurred, Urticaria and Erythema

Hives on my chest and rash/hives on my face and neck

Dizzy, feel foggy, blurred vision. Hives on neck come and go, hives/rash on cheeks come and go

Hives and rash on chest, neck and face have decreased. Looked like I had a sunburn on the patches that had been hives and rash. Seems to be lessening today overall, any heat for example taking a shower reproduces the effects.

Rash on my cheeks continues to reappear

Severe pain in my wrist limiting me to use fully. Left arm is where injection was no pain there just in the wrist.

Same as yesterday wrist pain ulnar area of left arm

Night sweats and some tingling in legs, mild headaches. Dont know if its directly related to vaccine or other health issues.

Had mild cold and cough

Tingling in my hands and legs

Generally not felt well, fatigued, lethargic. I work for a Doctor so I've been able to keep working, and keep document symptom.

Had to have a ultrasound to check for a debt in my right leg. Didn't have one. It was negative. Work in a Doctor's Office and she immediately did labs and sent me for ultrasound both came back fine.

Nerve injury, Aura and Diplopia

Radiating pain from injection site to shoulder, heaviness of limb, I am a chronic pain patient with fibromyalgia, parasympathetic nerve dysfunction, migraine headaches and a spinal fusion as well

I have parasympathetic nerve dysfunction and the vaccine caused a flair up, I also am a chronic pain patient with fibromyalgia and migraine headaches

The vaccine caused a flair up of my parasympathetic nerve dysfuntion. I lost use of my arm for about 48 hrs, any movement or use of muscles cause extreme pain. My arm was cool to touch, I had radiating pain from the injection site through my shoulder and up my neck. I am a chronic pain patient with fibromyalgia and chronic migraines. I have not had a migraine, but I have noticed the muscles in my shoulder, bicep, and shouder and neck are very tense. Today I have more range of motion, but it herts to use or lift my arm still, though it is worse if I lift it above my breastbone or move it forward/bacward or up, I also lost strength in my arm and hands and it pains me to grasp or lift anything even a phone.

Less pain today, but still have loss of strength an pain when using the limb.

Started to have a Migraine around 5pm, still very sore at and around injection site and still have loss of strength in myvarm and pain when using it, though less pain today. Started having abdominal cramping and somebdiarrhea today, I have IBS, but have not eaten anything that would have exacerbated it.

Had a migraine yesterday, today is a mild residual migraine, but I'm more fatigued and have more muscle and joint aches today. The pain in my arm and injection site is finally mild today, but I still have loss of strength though less and seem to fatigue faster on that arm.

Muscle spasm/knot encompassing right shoulder, under scapula/above scapula, and on ribs to side of breast and below armpit. Seems to be pinching a nerve, arm falls asleep, loss of strength, cannot lift weight, and cannot lift higher than 45 degrees

Apparent nerve issue in the right arm

Migraine aura with dizziness and double vision. Looks like someone threw glitter or jagged different sized pieces of metal in front of my face.

My arm last night fell very numb about the shot site and below answer my hand with the swelling and all fingers and my skin turns pale gray it lasted for about 35 minutes and lots of numbness right now the arm feels so so

Upper arm pain into the neck

My left arm still sore

Nightmare, Renal pain and Injection site warmth

Covid arm. Started 1 week after vaccination. Low level pain and extreme itchiness. Started out as a 3x3 area, grew to 5x8, upper arm, about 1 inch below injection site. Hot to the touch. Went away after 5 full days of the 5x8 size, 13 days total

Slightly runny nose and small cough, nothing serious

Pain in lower back and kidney area

Rapid heart rate

Not sure if its related, but since getting the vaccine I have regularly had extreme, vivid nightmares. Horrible nightmares. This was not a thing with me pre-vaccine. A couple of friends have told me theyve experienced the same, others have not.

Rash pruritic, Pruritus and Rash

Very mild chills and aches last night. Felt fine this morning and still feel fine.

I take Dupixent for chronic itching but last night I had a mild but very itchy rash on my neck and shoulders. Benadryl did not help. I have no idea if the rash has anything to do with the vaccine.

Neck & shoulders still itching. Very slight rash across shoulders. Not certain vaccine is to blame as I have chronic itching.

Moderate itching on shoulders and neck.

Very mild rash inside both elbows. Also significant itching around neck and ears. Went to dermatologist after 1st vax with moderate itching. She said it had nothing to do with the vaccine, and I do have chronic itching anyway. Went away after a few days, but seems to have returned after 2nd vaccine. Not nearly as bad, but enough to make me take hydroxizine at night. Appointment with dermatologist after 1st vaccination. Just now reporting this as the itching returned after 2nd vac. Again, I have chronic itching anyway, and take Dupixent for it. Could just be a coincidence.

Neutrophil count decreased, Neutropenia and Hyperchlorhydria

I got a flare of the shingles 24 hours after receiving the second dose. Plus i received the sencond dose at about 12 noon on the 20th and 12 hours later i had an exorbitant amount of stomach acid which continued until about 12 am on the 22nd. Then stopped. The shingles lasted about 8 hours on the left flank of my back.

I have neutropenia. Recently i had a CBC and my neutrophils are at an all time low. Does the vaccine effect it? Dont know but it certainly is a change. Regular visit coming up

Onychoclasis, Musculoskeletal discomfort and Alopecia

Severe Lin in the Back of my Neck

Some of these symptoms are similar to the HSP I have been diagnosed with.

Typical symptoms associated with my auto immune disease.

Extreme fatigue and sleeplessness has continued since vaccination. I was very ill for 3-4 days. Arm was inflamed for 6-7 days.

Just got the vaccine not an hour ago

Great Loss of hair, nails are splitting, extreme fatigue.

I have had an unexplained light-headedness. I thought maybe my blood pressure was too low at first, but it has continued for days, without my Blood Pressure changing.

I've had a light headed feeling that's only increased over the last 3 weeks. It started so lightly that I didn't think it was important.

Runny nose, congestion, weird scent changes, increased fatigue, sleeplessness

Headaches, low energy, brain fog

Primary headache associated with sexual activity, Blood testosterone decreased and Erectile dysfunction

Mind splitting Headache after sex

I continue to have insane headaches after orgasm this is 100% related to the vaccine. It happened first on the day after my first shot. Never in my life have I had this before. It lasts about 30 minutes.

But I only got the shot 4 hours ago. Last time my symptoms were awful about 12 hours later so your questionnaire is premature

Sweats

Major leg fatigue as if I ran a marathon

Leg pain that feels like I ran a marathon

Erectile dysfunction but I think that is covid related (had in December) but perhaps the vaccine has contributed to inflammation in my body in its response.

Memory loss & low testosterone both not previously reported. The question below is stupid. Just because I carried on with life DOES NOT mean it's OK! What a dumb survey! Try to care. Just a bit.

Tendon discomfort, Injection site reaction and Abdominal pain

My abdominal pain is mostly due to a GI condition I have, I would guess.

My GI system is my Achilles heel. So it's not surprising that my gut is acting up. Mostly this is lower GI distress. I'm also quite fatigued.

I felt nauseous this morning. It may be unrelated to the vaccine.

I just been a little queasy in the mornings. I don't know if this is related to the vaccine.

Vaccination site has turn red and very swollen, painful and itchy. Pain runs into elbow. Last night arm went numb. Have had increased GI distress, but that is a little better today. Could not get in to see doctor until next Monday. Doctor cancelled because of an emergency. Can't see me until Monday.

In pre-op for GI procedures, EKG showed possible heart attack. Still experiencing fatigue and delayed reaction at injection site of first moderna shot. 2nd EKG showed same result. Had Echo today, results pending. No HX of heart disease. Concerned. Referred to cardiologist by primary care doctor. Undergoing further tests.

Thirst, Taste disorder and Brain fog

The sore/achey is only one muscle and localized shot location, tough to call it pain, its 100% tolerable but I note it cuz it did arrive last pm and still does exist albeit at an extremely low level.

Mild ache at injection location diminished further yesterday (I missed reporting due to unrelated medical/family emergency.

Bad taste in mouth. Thirsty.

Pain at/around/beyond armpit, probably lymph node but It extends much further around/toward breast, and Im not an MD so cant b certain what it is

Still sore armpit (mayve forgot to mention yesterday)

Armpit still a little sore

Armpit still but less pain

Foggy & lightheaded

High blood pressure, itchy, migraine, foggy

Lymph node a little sore

Just got vaxx 2 hours ago - insufficient time to experience my usual symptoms

Possible sore under arm

A little sore under arm

Sore under arm but less than prior days

Dermatitis contact, Infection and Rash pruritic

That may not be related (probably NOT) related to vaccine

I also have nasal drip, today/ last night felt infection(y) and backdrip maybe weather?? Maybe tired!?

I just wanted to note, that Ive had the horribly itchy , almost poison ivy looking migrating rashes (like I had last March/April when sick not diagnosed) that pop up disappear, move and come and go. Super uncomfortable/itchy, can supply pictures

Got COVID!
