The record also contained her explanation that pain began within hours, became sharp and severe, and that she delayed care during COVID surges because of family health risks. Her course included primary-care evaluation, physical therapy, ultrasound, prescription medication, a steroid injection, and continuing range-of-motion problems. She described being unable to quilt, difficulty with household tasks, and physical therapy that was painful enough to leave her in tears.\n\nChief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran credited the evidence of timely onset and found a Table SIRVA. On October 6, 2025, he awarded $55,000.00 for pain and suffering and $61.97 in unreimbursed expenses, for a total of $55,061.97.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
