What Causes Sharp Wrist Pain After Taking Pneumovax?
Yesterday my wife received the Pneumovax 23 shot. She is 59, and an RA patient. Today she is experiencing sharp pain in her wrist. Interestingly, it is her right wrist, although she received the injection in her left shoulder. I noted that joint pain is one side effect of Pneumovax 23. Could this wrist reaction be related to the vaccine?

Hello,
It is not related to Pneumovax.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
