The damages dispute focused on how much of a long and complicated course should be attributed to SIRVA rather than other conditions, including axillary neuropathy and unrelated orthopedic problems.\n\nMs. McCarn's vaccine-related shoulder course included years of pain, repeated orthopedic care, physical therapy, cortisone injections, and two surgeries. Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran awarded $210,000.00 for pain and suffering and $2,455.27 in unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $212,455.27. He declined to compensate expenses tied to non-SIRVA neurologic treatment, lawn care, house cleaning, and medical marijuana.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
