Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
After having gone through the history given you seem to have neuropathic pain due to accidental nerve injury caused by the vaccine.
Now, since your cellulitis seems to be treated well with IV antibiotics, you need to consult your doctor for proper clinical examination and further treatment which may involve use of NSAID pain killers and Gabapentin along with Mecobolamine tablets.
Hope this will help.
