Kudos on the digging! What manner of absolute shitehawk would use this death to deliberately mislead and frighten people away from medical interventions which save lives?!? The world is sadly full of horrible people.

Beats me how my Aunt from Canada who's lived there for over 30 years got hold of that article from the Irish sentinel when most people from Ireland have never heard of it before. One of lifes mysteries I guess.
Just had a look at their Web page and it seems there's a live radio link between Ireland and Canada Sundays and Wednesdays full of weird conspiracy bullshit articles. Looks like I have another family member to put on the watch list.
Well, that's me now double bagged against covid. Bring on the unprotected hugs and inappropriate touching. 
For those that are interested, that's me had two AZ shots. First shot had me a little run down. A few fleeting headaches. Nothing serious. Second shot left me feeling a little run down after it for a couple of hours. Had a lie down and now Im perfectly fine. No side effects what so ever. The other half had AZ too. First shot had her feeling the same as me, but with the added pain in the ass of a slight fever for a couple of hours. Then she was fine the next day. Second shot gave her a sore arm for a couple of days, and that was it. No other side effects. So if youre getting your second AZ soon, worry not. As I think its pretty safe to say there's no side effects with the second shot. And if there is, it will be nothing that will interfere with your day.
So much for waiting a year. Guess I better change my vote.

Had my jab at 3pm Sunday.
The pain in my arm is getting progressively worse all day today to the point now where its so tender the slightest touch or movement is agony.

Have you broken your finger?
Seriously though that sounds like you should get it checked out. It shouldn't be getting significantly worse as far as I know.
Which vaccine? If AZ the advice I got was that bad pain in chest or head that didn't reduce with paracetamol was the main concern and if you got it to get yourself to hospital A&E ASAP just in case.
@Pogue Mahone @africanspur @Volumiza will likely be able to advise better if you haven't gone to your GP for advise already which as @Withnail said is probably a good idea.
Great find. I didn't even have the patience to read thru the autopsy report.
Bunch of nonsense. Sigh.
Moderna. I'm up all night with the pain of it.
If there’s a genuine concern you should call your GP straight away.
Most people seem to get an aching arm but one of our work colleagues experienced such pain that she was off work for a couple of days.
Pain like hers could only have been caused by impaction or irritation of a nerve and it’s not unusual for the reaction for the vaccine to have an impact on any local nerves, in fact it’s a good sign although it may not feel like it

Still, if you’re genuinely concerned … GP.

It's weird. Didn't feel it at all on day one.
I'll give it a few more hours to disappear before I call doctor

If these don’t work, take a painkiller. Something like Brufen should take the edge off.

As a GP, things to call your GPs about post-vaccination
-intense headache with nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, visual changes.
-severe unable-to-get-out-of-bed type abdominal pain, unable to eat anything
-chest pain and/or shortness of breath
-leg pain with redness and swelling, tender to touch/move
-bleeding (e.g. from gums, back passage)
-tiny dot like spots in clusters called petechiae alongside other symptoms
Generalised aches and pain, lethargy, headache, arm ache in injection site is shit but does go away, usually in a day or so but load up on paracetamol/ibuprofen which will help things.
There was somebody here who mentioned unilateral knee pain which I would have yellow carded because that's not a common reaction, might have been unrelated issue like undiagnosed gout, arthritis or bursitis. In the UK you usually should usually get given a leaflet to take home end of the vaccination and an A4 piece of paper sometimes with common vaccine side effects, which are available on NHS websites anyway. Anything concerning then definitely get in touch. I've not come across a single consult where something major side-effect wise has happened as a result of vaccination which is good considering I do about 7 primary care sessions per week in a busy practice but it does happen.

Forgot to add if touching or moving your arm is painful you should stop touching or moving it.
Think that covers all the bases. And also explains why I would be a terrible GP.

I preferred my broken finger diagnosis (actually an old Tommy Cooper joke).
Talking of crap GPs, when I was a kid in the 1970's our GP, who was well on the way to 80, always gave the same diagnosis. "There is a lot of that going around, I've not sure what it is but I've had a touch myself, take two paracetamol and get some bed rest." I suspect he would have treated a road crash or cardiac arrest the same way.
I've had that said to me by a GP. "Doctor, it hurts when I touch my leg here." "Don't touch it then."
1st?
We had Moderna and for a few days our arm got progressively sorer. Kept me awake the first and part of the second night.
2nd shot I couldn’t feel it as much because we had all the other side effects.
Few days later all good
Being a GP is tough. 95% of the stuff you see is utterly trivial. The real skill is in consistently picking up the 5% that matters but I always found the most difficult part was pretending to give a shit about the 95%.
I can imagine. All that training and dedication then all you see is haemorrhoids and skin rashes.
I was offered a postgraduate place at med school when I was in my 40s but I turned it down as I couldn't see myself being without income for so long or working as a GP and I was too old to think about adding multiple more years to be a specialist or similar.
I’d actually put haemorrhoids in the 5% that matters!
No wonder I hadn’t heard of it. Looks like an American rag
thats reassuring.
Dickhead comments from me above aside, it’s very normal to have a sore shoulder after the jab. And also normal for it to take a day or two to kick in fully. And some people will experience more pain than others. All you can do is take a load of painkillers and sweat it out. Should ease off over the next 24 hours.
Is some excercise okay with a sore arm? Or will it worsen the soreness? Had my shot on sunday, arm is still slightly sore but got significantly better since sunday evening.
'Sentinel' does have a far right whiff off it and the fact that they described an upcoming anti-lockdown protest as major tells me all I need to know.
I remember reading somewhere that it's probably better to not exercise for the few days following the jab. Don't worry, you won't lose those gainz.
Mate, I'm a skinny dude, if I lost any gains I'd barey be visible anymore
Read somewhere that you should not take too much analgesics for the muscular pains because it might interfere with antibody production. Not sure whether that makes sense.
I’d say you’ll be fine. You’re not going to do any permanent damage anyway.
Cheers Pogue!
In that case, you should be training instead of posting on Redcafe!Mate, I'm a skinny dude, if I lost any gains I'd barey be visible anymore
Cheers Pogue. My side effects seem to have been a delayed reaction. I thought I was the cheese on Sunday.
Now me arm is in a bundle and Im freezing!!! Lower legs feel achy etc.
Damn it
No it doesn't make sense. Analgesics are fine. Anti-inflammatory is also fine

Tbh I'm even surprised they advise not to take them before the shot. Apparently been shown to impact antibody production. Need to look at the data for that.

Ended up in A&E last Friday, day 6 after my second dose of AZ.
After nearly collapsing at my PC during work, I've had tension headaches, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, general lethargy and the raging sh*ts.
Had 3 ECGs, bloods taken and standing/resting BP measured several times. BP was elevated but ECGs and bloods all normal. Also tested negative for covid. Day 10 now and still no better. Hope this doesn't go on too much longer.
Just had my second az. Came to post and seen the post above mine, made me feel great now
hope you get over it soon @Edgio
