1st+2nd shot of Pfizer - no Problem, just a little fever for one day.
3rd shot (booster) - 3-4 days after the booster my inflammation with pain of both hands (Dupuytren) and penis (IPP) is back.
I have that now for 2 months... and Noodles in the hands are growing again.

I don´t believe in a coincidence here because I had NO growing and pain now for almost 8 years (after radiation therapy in Hamburg).
Thinking of a 3rd dose of radiation now and meeting my doctor next week again.
I keep you posted...

Hi. If I may add my 2 cents worth of opinion: interesting, but considering the number of people who have been a) vaccinated and b) exposed to the virus in one or the other of its variants, with or without symptoms, at this stage most likely not very useful until we get into much bigger numbers where the sum of anecdotal accounts becomes statistically relevant. Wanting to find out what triggered the disease or a flare-up is all too tempting and understandable - most of us have probably been there and most of the time not found real answers. I'd just be careful not to jump to conclusions and see cause/effect correlations when there are so many other possible factors we don't understand. To come to that conclusion we would need to know if the incidence of DD symptoms is actually different in the vaccinated or infected population, all other things being equal. Not saying there cannot be side effects including some we aren't yet aware of, but for me logic would have it that an actual (or at least a severe) Covid-19 (-20, -21 or -22) illness would have a bigger impact on your body and your immune system than a vaccination with a controlled dose of a limited component of the virus. Again, just my opinion based on processing more Covid-19 information for the past two years than I'd ever have thought I'd spend my time on.

It may or may not be related with the vaccination. That is very difficult to prove. I myself did not feel any effect on my Dupuytren's after 3x Moderna but everyone s different with regard to Dupuytren's, and probably to Covid, too.

I developed Dupuytrens a month after receiving my second dose. At first, I thought it was tendonitis, but I thought it was strange to have non-sagittal tendonitis. I finally saw a doctor after it didn't go away for 8 months, and that's how I found out I have Dupuytrens. My orthopedist said that there's nothing I can do for it. He also did not report it as a side effect of the vaccine.

i know everyone says that it isn't painful, but it can be. The swelling wanes and returns, especially if I go to the gym and don't use workout gloves.
