Hello!
Thank you for reaching out to us.

We understand that you have been experiencing joint pains around your knees and ankles since you received the AstraZeneca vaccine. We will try to help you out.

There are several possibilities for your problem. We will list it out below.

1. Your symptoms can be due to the side effects of the Covid vaccine. Besides joint pains, other side effects that are often reported include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, diarrhea, and body pain.

2. You might be suffering from a type of arthritis, osteoarthritis being the most common one in your age group. Other possibilities include gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

3. You mentioned that you have been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. There is a possibility that cancer has metastasized to the bones, causing joint pain.

We encourage you to speak to a doctor to find the root cause of your problem. You can register for online consultation with our orthopedics specialist so that we can help you further regarding your problem.

We hope that our answer has been helpful.
Thank you.
