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.

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?

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.

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.

So I wonder if there is medication that they give u if it is caused from the vaccine? But right now I take muscle relaxers and advil for it all. And I hope it calms down a bit. How long have you had this issue for now?

However the tingling and prickly sensations went away for quite sometime and then came back.

My back is fine now.
