I am a believer in vaccines but this one ppv23 knocked me for a loop. My doctor recommended it during a routine visit and by late afternoon my arm began to hurt and it turned out to be some of the worst pain I have experienced for many years. The pain was so intense that I was unable to sleep the first two nights, I felt sick and had chills and fever and then the pain moved down my arm and into my wrist and hand. My hand swelled up and was extremely painful and hot for the next 10 days and it's only now getting to the point where I can use it again. Each day I thought it would get better but it is still painful. I would not recommend this shot.

Got the shot, wasn't hurting at all. Because of the pharmacist who knows how to inject. I swore didn't felt a bit of any pain. No arm pain no lumb where I've been injected. The only bad was muscle ache joints was painfull and headaches for the first 5 days. And I'm a smoker. I'm in better health now as before. And I was sick for months every year at the end of March phenomea at ... Show Full Comment

And I was sick for months every year at the end of March phenomea at the worst. I would recommend this for the world, that's how great and good I feel. I'm 41 never been better.

I am 22 years old an got the vaccine bc of health complications I was having. My doctor told me I would be slightly sore. However, I was in intense pain for 3 days. I couldn't lift my arm or sleep on my left side. I have severe chills and body aches on day 2 as well. I am currently on day 4 of having the vaccine and my arm is still mildly sore with a hard bump at the injection site.

Severe arm pain, fever and chills. Never experienced anything like this. On day 2 and still painful but improving. Makes me 2nd guess my choice to get it. Thankfully I shouldn't have to get another one ever but I wouldn't get it anyway, never.

Received Thursday. 9am, by 2pm couldn't lift arm without quite a bit of pain. Thursday night barely slept body pain throughout. Sleep 60 min, up 90 min thru entire night. Extreme nausea and fever started by 4am. Fully medicated with both acetaminophen and ibuprofen piggyback I still ran a 102.6 fever majority of Friday. Thought of going to ER, heart palpitations too. Increase in pain in arm. Up and down thru Friday night. Vomiting. Sat only low grade to no fever. Arm is now beyond painful. Even my shirt touching is torture, it is hot, red, swollen. Pain radiating all the way to fingertips. Had to draw a line on arm of redness outer boundary to see if it'd increase in size. Still nauseous almost all day had some dinner and living on freezer pops to keep food down. Headache and migraines for two days now. Took a benedryl before bed in case it's any allergic reaction. Praying since they placed the shot so high it's not into bursa sack. I have rheumatoid arthritis and had shoulder bursitis in past. If they know giving too high is a problem then why on Earth do they? Woke up Sunday morning after another fitful pained night. Fever seems to be gone, stomach feeling a bit better, arm same if not worse. No spread of red swollen area, extreme pain and radiating down into elbow and fingers. The list of side effects is missing a lot of information especially as far as the extreme of all of it and a fever that nearly out me in hospital.
