has anyone had unusual symptoms after getting pfizer shots?

Posted by awilst @awilst, Oct 1, 2021

I am senior who has had pfizer vaccines in march. subsequently I have noticed having stiff neck problems. also notice small black circle under thumb nails. like bruses , but have not hurt thumbs? 1st left thumb. then right thumb. no pain , no problems. just curious??? neck pain might be due to inactivity due to covid hiding out. wonder if anyone else has noticed any of this?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Infectious Diseases Support Group.

@awilst, I am a senior also and have had both Pfizer vaccines but only had the normal side effects. I do have some unrelated problems that you mentioned, especially neck stiffness on one side of the neck but not really causing me any pain. I think it's issues with my sleep habits and pillows but haven't figured it out yet. I also have easily bruised skin and see spots and don't remember doing anything to cause them. Here's some information you may find helpful on vaccine side effects:
