Introduction: The recent pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has significantly increased the mortality and disability burden in many people worldwide. Several effective vaccines have been introduced since the outbreak of the coronavirus. These vaccines work through several different immunization pathways to create effective immunity. In this respect, there have been no reports of patients with symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy and puffiness of the hands after receiving corona vaccines. This article presents a clinical case report of these symptoms after receiving the MRNA12-73 (Moderna) vaccine. Overall, finding effective, low-complication, and safe solutions against this virus can have a beneficial effect in reducing the side effects of the Corona vaccine and maintaining the health and lives of people. Case history: A 73-year-old male patient developed lumbar radiculopathy and puffy hands after receiving the corona (COVID-19) vaccine. He was infected with COVID-19 about 60 days after receiving the MRNA12-73 (Moderna) vaccine. Conclusion: Attention to the occurrence of any side effects after injecting corona vaccines requires additional studies. It is also important to follow up on any clinical signs of suspected coronary involvement, even after the vaccination.
