Got Pfizer Feb- SIRVA next day -concerned that vaccine did not take
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Aug 30, 2021 | Replies (49)Comment receiving replies
I got Moderna vaccine, mild pain after 1st shot, evolving to more pain and partial immobility of left arm. After 4 months of pain and not enough information, went to the doctor and was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. Took the steroid injection, but still no improvement after 2 weeks. I am very worried about deciding to take a booster shot, and which arm, since I don't want to compromise my right arm too. I don't know if I'm allegic to polyethylene glycol [PEG]. Should I take the JJ booster, instead?

Hi @silvio, Have you tried physical therapy for the shoulder? I went on Youtube.com and typed in Frozen Shoulder exercises and did those. It really was hard but it worked and I have full use of my shoulder. Best of luck getting that shoulder back!

Hello @silvio and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear about your experience and I can completely understand your hesitation and anxiety with getting the next vaccine.
I found an article that may be of interest to you as you determine what is right for you and also recap your experience with the first vaccine.
- Prevent Shoulder Injuries During Covid-19 Vaccinations:

Does any of that article ring true for you when you received your first vaccine?
