I now walk with a cane and thanks to that muscle spasm, I now have lost feeling in the next two toes. I am now getting injections from pain management and regular visits from the chiropractor. I saw my MD on the following Monday(in wheelchair) and got stronger meds and was given three weeks off of work. By the next day I was in a wheelchair- thank God for my church having one. I was able to do a walk-in visit at my chiropractor- had started seeing him 1 week after the first spasm. I had to crawl to the bathroom as I was unable to put weight on my right side. On the night of May 6, almost 4 months after my vaccine I had a far worse back, hip, leg and foot muscle spasm event at night and despite meds, massage and heat I couldn’t stand up. He also realized I have weakness in both feet. Physical therapist said to get MRI and doctor finally ordered it after doing Neuro check after I told him I can’t lift my toes. Also by this time I realized and showed my therapist that I can’t lift the toes on my right foot at all, unlike my left. Went to physical therapy- made what little decrease in pain I had come roaring back. The doctors say that these are not typical symptoms that are listed as side effects of the vaccine so my regular doctor referred me to PT.
Was really annoying for 36 hours-this is a reported symptom- but I figured The feeling might come back, it didn’t. Had second vaccine and had shooting electric shock pain in right great toe. Also have a numb spot on the side of my calf where it was cramped.
By the third day I lost feeling in my great toe and some of the bottom of my foot and the skin on top of my foot going up from my great toe. As the cramp continued it felt like the nerve going down from my hip to my foot was being strangled. Slept in recliner most nights on a heating pad with automatic off timer.
The next day was started on prednisone and gabapentin by one of my doctors. I took muscle relaxer, ibuprofen, and another pain pill. An hour later tried to get out of bed due to the worst cramp from the hip down to my foot with an additional camp on the outer side of my calf. Eleven hours after the shot I rolled over in bed and had pain in my right hip. Moderna expects to deliver its first vaccines to the UK in April. You should also consult your doctor first if you have a weakened immune system, have a bleeding problem or have a high fever or severe infection. If you know you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed above then you should not have this particular vaccine.
The active substance in each dose is 0.10 mg mRNA encoding the pre-fusion stabilized Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 embedded in lipid nanoparticles.
