Got the newest mRNA COVID-19 booster yesterday... [View all]

And my influenza jab at the same time. My arm is just a little sore. But my legs feel like they are burning and they are between five and six on the pain scale right now. There are other places that are hurting but not like my legs.

Has anyone else had the same or a similar experience? What suggestions, if any, do you have that might help? I'm literally nauseated from the pain. It's like my legs are on fire.

I got the Pfizer version of the mRNA jab when in the past all of my jabs have been the Moderna versions. I don't know the manufacturer of the flu shot. I wish I had asked.

I have constant pain anyway, as a result of an autoimmune disorder. I take a sustained release opioid for that every twelve hours. I can't function in daily life otherwise. This pain is different.

By the way, if anyone has any information on the Pfizer jab I'd really appreciate it if you would share it.

Sorry for being such a crybaby. Thank you.
