We are wondering if my OH's sudden hip/thigh pain is anything to do with the jab - he had his about the same time. Never had any trouble with his hip before but is struggling to walk sometimes now. His friend has had painful knees.
After looking on Google it seems to be a side effect for some people.

I had a sore arm for about 5 days, also a stiff neck. Seems better now.

I had a sore arm for a few days after my Pfizer vaccine. However I can assure you that the effects of the virus are far worse, I was hospitalised for twelve days with Covid.

What Aldom says is good advice. Sorry you're feeling unwell still,

We both had the Pfizer with very little side effects. Both had a sore arm but that was gone within 48 hours. My flu jab was worse with the same effects you're having. They lasted 3 days.

Ring 111

Hello Bopeep14 sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell so long after your vaccination. The NHS
advice for anyone who is concerned about the side effects of the vaccine is to ring 111 Hope this will help and that you soon feel better.

I had my first dose of the covid vaccine on the 9th of feb.
I had flu like symptoms for a couple of days and was expecting to feel better after.
As time is progressing i feel awful i have a really sore heavy arm and all my joints are really sore and i keep getting a really horrible headache, and more fatigued than normal.
I was wondering if i should contact my GP?
