I took Moderna vaccine 2 months ago, afterwards I woke up the next day in severe pain in my arm, shoulder, and neck area. I already suffer from CRPS in my right lower extremities. My physical therapist refused to do any treatment for this area, due to the fact the swelling was so bad he couldn't find my lymphnoides around my neck area. I ve been to 3 emergency rooms for the pain because none of my previous meds take the pain away. After 2 CT, a host of x rays nothing. At first they told me shot given to low, maybe hit bursa. So I had an MRI results were I have 3 mild bulging dics, a rotor cuff tear, severe arthritis in arm. Can someone please tell me why these symptoms never bothered me until I took vaccine. The CRPS feels like it more in the arm, sholder, neck area than my feet and leg, this pain is calming now.

If I read this to my daughter, a telehealth triage nurse, she would say "Yup, we hear it every day. My Pain doc referred to it as "your immune system going into overdrive" when this happened to me after the influenza vaccine last fall, and said it has been happening with quite a few vaccines over the years. According to her, in her practice she has nearly always seen it settle down. I ended up on a course of steroids to calm the inflammation.
I am glad you are seeing a reduction. Unfortunately, some of our bodies just mount a louder response than others!
Keep healing,
Sue

@neverrest- Good morning. I hope that today will be a better day for you. Moderna's second shot was a doozie, wasn't it? I was pretty ill with it and wound up with a very high fever, aches, pains, and a very sore arm!
The vaccine jump-started your immune system to fight covid but it can also exacerbate other silent problems. There are man, many posts that tell the same story about "newly found problems." Research is still on-going with the chicken and the egg dilemma with this.

I'm very glad that your pain is subsiding. Hopefully, it will disappear very soon. What are you taking for it now that it is less painful?
