Several weeks ago my SO was pushed over in a scuffle, what resulted in her right thumb bent in, what left it sore for several days, plus she had a small, superficial skin wound on the thumb. Additionally, when she fell, somebody else fell and she had the lense of a camera rammed into her face, what left her with a deep cut on her left eyebrow of perhaps 3mm length and that one bled lots. Since this happened at a government place and during an official event, she was not allowed to leave but instead sent to the emergency unit as a matter of procedure. There, she was examined, had her hand x-rayed and was diagnosed with minor injuries, had her wounds disinfected and had her thumb wrapped in gauze. According to what my SO told me, at the end of the whole procedure, she was asked by a nurse if she wanted a tetanus vaccine, to what my SO answered NO. Nonetheless, in a moment of inattention, the nurse came through the group of people standing around my SO, said something like "one moment please" and rammed the syringe into my SO's left upper arm.
Since then my SO has had a hard swollen ball of like 5 cm diameter which receded and disappeared over about 10 days. At one moment, it looked like a giant bee sting with a distinctive swollen aureole of about 10cm diameter with slightly pink borders. There was a small reddish hole at the center which would build a hard scar but which always fell off - this center felt like a small ball inside to touch. Her hole arm hurt her for several days to the point where she was wincing all day long. During those initial 10 days, she complained of feeling extremely tired and sleepy at all times.
Now and since two days (last Friday), she is complaining of loss of control of her legs together with extreme pain on the upper legs, and she describes it as if she had rocks in her legs and as if her leg was "too tired to support her body", and it has the feeling that the pain emanated from her hip joints when she moves or turns, the pain apparently gives her a distinct feeling for the muscles on her upper legs. Her left leg at times breaks away and she has been moving around the house supporting herself on the furniture and the walls. She has been taking pain killers (naprobene and diclofenac) and that has helped her some with the pain but they zonk her out.
During the flu scare some years ago, an acquaintance in AZ who got vaccined wound up in hospital in coma for three months, so we (especially myself) don't trust doctors that much and I've dissuaded my SO from seeking medical treatment for now.
I'm posting this to ask if anybody could give me advice on what to do. Thanks in advance.
