Interesting read. Crazy enough I think the Moderna vaccine triggered costochondritis (or something like it) in me. I once had it as a kid very briefly, and apparently my aunt has issues with it, so I am someone susceptible to it I guess.
I noticed I started getting chest pain 2 weeks after my first vaccine, but did not make the connection at the time. I thought it may have just been triggered by my working out (tho I had already been working out 8mo with no issue).
I got tested for myocarditis and all that and everything was negative, so I didn’t think the vax did anything. It healed up in a year. Because I never made the connection to the vax I ended up getting the booster a year later and sure enough the pain came back 2 weeks later. It’s been 2yrs and it hasn’t gone away - may be permanent this time (can’t really do a full workout and can’t play golf anymore it seems).
I never really found any known connection when googling it, though my doctor thought it was at least possible. And to be absolutely clear, I say none of this to be “anti-vax”. No one else I know had any issues with it and I think I’m just a lucky 1 in a million winner! 😂
I’m sorry that happened to you! That all makes a lot of sense to me unfortunately. The vaccine is supposed to excite your immune system in a very specific way but we know immune systems get confused easily and go after the wrong targets sometimes. I am hoping that you are able to get yourself better and back to golf.
