Bunion Joint Pain after Pfizer COVID Vaccine

Hi,

I have a bunion on my left foot for the last 8-9 years, but it was never painful. I am 36, male, fairly active, go running or do elliptical 5 days a week without any problem. However, since the day after my 2nd shot of COVID vaccine (Pfizer) 9 days ago, the bunion in my left foot became very painful and it is hard to even walk.

Is joint inflammation a common side effect of COVID vaccine? Is it temporary or will it be a persistent problem? My doctor gave me diclofenac gel, which I have been applying for 3 days now, but no relief yet.

Thanks
