Got my first dose of Shingrix Nov 20, 2020. Had severe (and weird I must say) arthralgia and myalgia during night for 2 nights straight, essentially slept for 2 days after--flu like but weird enough symptoms I thought I had Covid! Then started to rebound on 3rd day after. Then lips swelled up for 2 days. moving in a circular pattern from bottom lip to top. That cleared up then have had watery diarrhea and not a normal bowel movement since (today is Dec 9). A few days ago the stomach upset was accompanied by swollen left knee and left foot that has the characteristics of gout (which I am familiar with). Can barely walk. So I took a Covid test which came back negative. So either I am having some coincidental acute situation or things have not been the same since the vax.

@soill Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support. It sounds like you may have had a bad reaction to the shingles vaccine.

May I ask if you have contacted your provider regarding your symptoms?
