I was just wondering if anyone that has this issue has fully recovered fully. Could they message me? I don't no how?

Often those that recovered fully are not posting or reading here anymore..

And once the pain in my joints sorta calmed down I experienced tingling that would not go away, and I still have it. They are
Looking into it and I had an MRI and blood work.
Is there away to get rid of this or does it go away on it's on eventually?

Hey Albert,

My issues have subsided for a while then I had a flare up in October. My issues are not constant and can fluctuate in region of my body and intensity and length of time.

Mine is also bilateral for the most part and I have had no weakness.

And now I have the tingling, my back sorta hurts in the middle of my back in the spine ..And joint pain that comes and goes. And no weakness . I just finished an MRI for ms etc.. But I'm now waiting to seek answers on is there somthing or someone who can help me with this. And how long has it been since you had the vaccine?

I saw two doctors last year.. a neurologist and then an orthopedic specialist.

I stopped going to my neuro because her notes indicated it was all in my head. She also made a mention that an MRI to rule out MS would be a waste because I don't have MS and that her physical exam would show it. She then went on to say she never has missed a dx in her physical exam. So I was pretty much stonewalled. I didn't have the energy to bang my head on the wall at another neuro office since it takes a while to get in to a good specialist.

I had pretty bad lower back pain for about 6 months. I did go to an ortho and after 4 months of PT I had a lower back MRI. She said it look like arthritis. She actually stated it could have been related to the vaccine since it came on 24 hours post vax and it could have been an immune reaction. That has subsided! I also had some other joint issues in my wrists and ankles that subsided within a month.

Honestly the more I can stay away from the Dr. the better. Nothing like shelling out money and being told it's in your head. :(

I figured I had some over reaction of my immune system and any tests at this point would be more risk... Spinal tap... MRI w/ contrast. No thanks. I also feel that the medical community in general feels that this vaccine reactions are not real which only adds to my alienation from the system.

From what I have read unless I am having weakness and it's bilateral I am not going to go to the Dr. I am just treating this like peripheral neuropathy. It may get better or it may get worse, who knows. I don't want any drugs because the severity of the symptoms are mild and just annoying at this point.

I know what u mean. Because I have been givin no direction. I just wish I knew what next. But I have to wait to see. We don't pay for medical care here, which is kinda nice. And I've noticed with my joint pain it comes and goes, like this weekend I had it for a few days and now it's gone. But my back hurts all the time now. And my eyes hurt.... I hope it goes away.. So did you have to report it to the public health there?

The involvement of your eyes, joints and back you might want to look up Reactive Arthritis/Reiters Syndrome as well.

Yeah my back hurt for ~6 months... Worse in the first 4 months. I even switched to a standing desk because it hurt to sit.

I can make a VAERS Report but I am waiting until my syptoms stabilize, subside or I have a dx.

Hope you feel better soon.

I hope u get better..Did u end up getting reactive arthritis/reiters syndrome from this? And what is dx? I just look this 2 things up. But it doesn't make sense? Is there a relation with that vaccine?

dx is diagnosis.

Reactive Arthritis can be from a viral or bacterial infection.

Which a vaccine would simulate.

I was never officially diagnosed with anything.

Again not a Dr here but the main thing that sets reactive arthritis apart from others is the involvement with the eye.
