Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of numbness pain and inability to move the limbs following injection with prevnar 13 vaccine I am suggesting that have developed a temporary local peripheral neuropathy

In view of this I will assure you that the symptoms will gradually fade out.

If so far there is no relief I will advice you to see a physiotherapist for expert management

I hope this helps Regards
