Approximately 39 days later, she began experiencing left shoulder pain and limited range of motion, which was diagnosed as a shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA). Her medical records documented no prior history of shoulder pain or dysfunction. The case proceeded as a Table claim, with the respondent contesting only the timing of the onset of symptoms. The court found that the petitioner had met the criteria for a Table SIRVA, including the requirement for symptoms to manifest within 48 hours of vaccination, despite the respondent's objection to the reported onset time. The court awarded Amie Luk $140,000.00 for pain and suffering and $7,872.03 for unreimbursed expenses, for a total award of $147,872.03. The decision noted that while her injury required surgery and physical therapy, her recovery was relatively quick, distinguishing her case from others with longer treatment courses or more severe pain.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
