I had a side effect that lasted 5 months - persistent pain in the arm and is confirmed by doctors as caused by the vaccine. This is much better than the ilness but is not something I would like to repeat.

I suggest you visit your doctor. It could have been Guillain Barre Syndrome a known rare, but possible, effect of COVID-19 vaccines. https://www.shutterstock.com/search/guillain+barre+syndrome https://www.shutterstock.com/search/guillain+barre+syndrome "Although the cause is unknown, the underlying mechanism involves an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves and damages their myelin insulation.[2] Sometimes this immune dysfunction is triggered by an infection or, less commonly, by surgery, and rarely, by vaccination." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%80%93Barr%C3%A9_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%80%93Barr%C3%A9_sy... It is currently criminally under investigated by the CDC, who just "noticed" the 258 cases in the US reported in the VARS system. You can also get it after after different types of infections including getting Covid. So not related to the vaccine.

  It happened after the second dose of the vacinne (started 3 days after and it is not related to the virus). It is completely gone now so not sure what doctors will find. I also didn't have any paralysis at any moment, just pain.

    There are two possible ways to diagnose it: 1) Blood tests. Some documented variants of Guillain-Barré are associated with an antibody called GQ1b. If it would be present, "could be" a diagnosis of the Miller- Fisher variant 2) Lumbar puncture. A special needle is placed into the area around the spinal cord in the lower back, and a small amount of fluid is removed. Naturally this second option is only chosen in more persistent cases.
