Sorry if I missed the original post on this, but are you saying you still have nodes 6 weeks after covid vaccine? xx

Hi

I'm another one with a swollen node above my collarbone which I first noticed 4 days after my AZ jab on the same side. It's still swollen 7 weeks later but definitely moveable and maybe a little smaller ( or is that wishful thinking?). I haven't contacted my gp yet but will if it doesn't resolve soon. I also read that some nodes take ages to go down. There seem to be lots of us in the same boat - just hoping it is vaccine related. There are also some similar posts I read on a more recent thread relating the same side effect. As you say positive vibes to everyone.

Interesting. Have you reported it on the yellow card website? I reported mine today, as it is for suspected side-effects, so you don't have to know that it was the vaccine.....

Jal55 I'm such an anxious person, I just want to know the blood test results now, I admire your calmness and patience! 

Meg357 you are the sensible one - I get equally anxious but tend to put off doing anything about it!!

Hope your blood test results come quickly - waiting for results is so stressful. 
 

Take care

Hi

It is really worrying isn't it - we all seem to be in the same boat. Some gps seem to advocate a wait and see approach whereas others are more proactive. Did your gp suggest it could be related to the vaccine? It seems coincidental that most of the people who have posted have had a vaccine recently and on the same side as the swollen node. 
Hope you get your ultrasound quickly. The anxiety is horrible though.

Hi Melanijo26,

I had a look at the reported cases of lymphadenopathy on the yellow card system processed so far, and it's around 2.5 thousand for the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine (which I had), and over 3,000 for the Pfizer vaccine, and they are probably still looking at reports coming in. Supraclavicular lymph node swelling is reported from the US as well as armpit lymph node swelling. It does seem to be happening to us after the vaccine, so fingers tightly crossed that you and the rest of us are all OK and just having a mild reaction. Your blood test results sound reassuring. Hope the other pain is a red herring.
Doesn't work the whole time, but I've found it's best to try and keep busy/active – I like the outdoors and nature, cooking, trying to do a crossword, playing a game with someone, or reading a book – concentrate on what's going on around you rather than inside you, breathe slowly, do some stretches and go out walking in the sunshine. This passes the time and helps you feel less panicky. All the best.

 

That sounds like sensible advice. I was feeling really wobbly this morning, went for a run and now doing battle with a fig tree that I am trying to repot. It helped no end. I looked at the yellow card reports too - and that must be a fraction of the cases! 
 Take care

Wow - quite surprised (and reassured) to see how many others have had a similar issue.

I'm a 27 year old student doctor and am currently in remission from advanced testicular cancer following a good response to chemotherapy last year.

Last week I noticed a painless smooth, mobile, rubbery left supraclavicular mass similar to the ones you have all described. I immediately thought the worst (as I had a similar lump when I was first diagnosed and know all too well the clinical significance of a raised left supraclavicular node). Have spent the past few days tearing my hair out and it was only last night that the thought occured to me that this could be a result of my 2nd AZ vaccine 2 weeks ago.

I am now feeling fairly reassured having read a number of the case reports in the medical literature and on here. I have nonetheless been submitted for an ultrasound by my team given my history.

Hoping all of you are feeling similarly reasurred - but enourage all of you to get booked in for ultrasound scans via your GP as you can never be too careful! 

Kindest
