Heel pain after COVID-19 vaccine

I wanted to share my experience as well. After the Pfizer vaccine first dose, I felt excruciating foot pain in the entire sole of my foot. For a week, it was painful to walk, then it started subsiding over the next two weeks. Second Pfizer shot and foot pain began again and comes in waves. This has continued since October. I had no prior foot or lower extremity issues. I reported my case through VAERS. I’m 49, in otherwise good health, no regular medications. No one seems to have recommendations beyond massage which temporarily relieves or healthy eating/ arch support. I’m wondering if the RNA based changes (in certain vaccines )to how proteins are reacting has a long term effect and if there is any recommendation for an assessment of kidney/liver/heart function or if indeed some clotting issues occur after covid, maybe this is a similar reaction after vaccine. Maybe my circulation is being affected since the problem worsens after sitting still or sleeping without movement? Is there any type of scan or test that could check all systems for clotting or compromise of circulation? Very frustrated.

Your thought process makes sense to me - a hematologist would be able to recommend tests such as a complete blood count, serum calcium, creatinine, Free Light Chains, vitamin D levels, B levels, immunofixation, and 24 hour urine protein electrophoresis- etc that may help the evaluation for further testing focus. An internal med or holistic doctor may also give you a good approach for your suspicions.
