Hello

i have this exact same thing came up 29th October day after flu jab and it's still there!!!!!

is yours?

Many Thanks

Hi, 

Tagging onto this coversation, almost releived to hear other people going through the same thing. 

I had my covid vaccine (nhs radiographer) but a week or so after I found a small lump above my collarbone, it wss painless and I only found it because I poke around alot (the job makes me worry more than it should). Anyway i spoke to my gp and she called me in and had a feel and did a full blood count, testing inflammatory markers and all sorts. I even asked a consultant I work with to check it. ANYWAY  All came back perfectly normal, which is supposed to be a releif but its still there and getting alot of random bursts of  pain in my neck and collarbone. 

The dreaded C word wont leave my brain, the doctor is worried at all. Is it normal for to have lumps? Has anyone had lumps that havent turned out to be ahnormal. 

I work in cancer care so I know lumps and bumps arent normal... 

Thank you to anyone who reads this.

Hi Geri how is your lump?

I had my second Pfizer last Thursday and found a lump above my collarbone on the Saturday , I can really move it. I found this thread and it really put my mind at ease, I went to the doctors today and she didn't seem concerned but said she is referring my for US, I told her about this thread and she said she doesn't think mine feels like a lymph node and she thinks it's possibly a cyst..

Has anyone else had this and it been a cyst? I lost my Dad and Sister to cancer within such a close time frame and my health anxiety is just through the roof 

thank you 

HI Amil,

Sorry to hear that and so sorry for your loss. . I now have 2 lumps. My GP thinks its a reaction to vaccine as mine was really sore and feeling a burning. She give me a antibiotic but im not seeing much of a difference. She wants me back in 2 weeks if they is no change. But hopefully we are all ok. Xx

After the swelling in my lymph nodes finally went down, I had he second vaccine last week, I'd say around 2-3 days later the lymph node swelling on the left collarbone and the one above was back. 

This actually coincided with my ENT appointment, which was an ultrasound that all looked normal. 

I'd say anyone worried should defo get it checked out, likelihood is, if it's appearing after the vaccine then it's all normal. 

Hi Everyone

I had my 1st vaccine a week ago..a few days later I also had a lump above my collarbone.  Went to the doctors yesterday & he thinks it is to do with the vaccine, but is sending me for a scan to be on the safe side.

Reading all these comments has put my mind at rest.  But it is a very scary time when you do not know what is going on.

Hope everybody is ok.

Hello 

I would put money on it being the vaccine but of course get checked. This thread has helped me a lot!

sending best wishes!

Hi, thought I would pop back to give an update. Had my scan last week and they were scanning for ages before saying they couldn't see anything. I can still feel it at certain times but they said it's obviously a lymph node flared up from the vaccine and whatever it was is showing nothing sinister and I'm discharged. Thank you all that have posted from the start on this thread it's such a help to read and see so many with the same thing. 

Just want to add to this thread as the more I read the more hopeful I feel, although I am still petrified.

I had my 2nd AZ jab about 7 weeks ago - I can honestly say it was done so quickly I can't even remember what side they did it on.

A week later I noticed a large lump (about 10mm I reckon) on the right-hand side of my neck - hard and not moveable. Of course, this happened on a weekend. But I saw the doc on Monday and she wasn't worried and said it would probably go down in a week or two. 6 weeks later it's still there, gone down a little but not much, still hard and non-moveable. Plus after digging around I have found two smaller ones along my collarbone - around 4 -5mm I think. Both moveable. I spoke to the doc and she said just due to my anxiety she would refer me for a non-urgent ultrasound to put my mind at rest. I've now gone private and have an ultrasound on Monday. She also did some blood tests and my white blood cell count was slightly low, so she said it points to a virus/infection of some kind and not to worry. It's worth noting, that I had COVID about 4 weeks before my second vaccine, which I believe can exacerbate any vaccine relate side effects.

I'm just worried because the lump in my neck is hard, and not moveable at all. Anyone else had this?

Hello

I have had a lymph node reaction both times and they always seem to feel bigger than they actually are, the scan backed that up. I was shocked at how big I thought they were against what they really were.

 I also was digging around my neck and found another lump on my throat this time. The GP didn't think it was a lymph node so I thought enough is enough and paid to go private.

The scan was very thorough and the new lump I found was thyroid scar tissue, apparently when we grow and it changes location to be lower down it left a bit and that is what I can feel.

The private scan cost me £299 but it was worth it.

Hi,

i have done an ultra sound and the doc said he noticed something around my thyroid. But he didnt elaborate, can you please share with me what a thyroid scar tissue is ? Anything dangerous ?

this whole vaccine thing is just a nightmare, almost everyone I know developed something worrying.

Hello

For me, he said no further treatment and that was that. He said my thyroid function was perfect and it is nothing to worry about at all.

when did you have your ultrasound? My GP said he thought this bump was around my thyroid but the sonographer said it wasn't now and it was just part of the thyroid.

Just following up from my post earlier in the week. I've just had my scan and doc said everything looked normal and I had nothing to worry about. So I am relieved. No explanation as to why they were there but I'm guessing it is a reaction to COVID jab.
