Hi, I've just been reading your story as I was searching online about the same thing. I had my second Pfizer vaccination last Saturday and on Tuesday evening I felt a twinge on my collarbone & when I felt around it was quite tender in one spot and a bit swollen.

I went to my gp yesterday - he doesn't think it's anything to worry about but is sending me for blood tests next week - I asked him if it could be the vaccine and he said possibly? I got the impression he hadn't heard of it happening before but I've read of a few examples of it online and I think it should be more widely known.

Any unexplained lump or bump is worrying - I'm reassured to hear other people have had the same thing however I will be more reassured when it disappears!

Hello

There are quite a lot of recent posts about the lymph nodes appearing after the vaccine, seems that the UK are not reporting on it as much as the UK. Just looking on Twitter etc there are so many posts. I replied to a few and 2 people from the US said it is widely reported there. Maybe it is here and I just haven't seen it.

2 weeks ago today I had my first AZ vaccine and 2 days after I felt the lymph node. There are a lot saying to take comfort in it as if it is vaccine related your body is doing what it should but, every lump or bump should be checked out.

 I called my GP when I found mine and hos attitude was shocking, telling me that there was no point in me seeing him as he would just tell me I had a lump, I called again and spoke to another doctor who saw me. Having that attitude might stop someone with a sinister lump get checked!

He thinks it is vaccine related but didn't seem too know too much I think as it isn't really a thing spoken about here but to relieve my anxiety he is sending me for a scan. I think it might have decreased a bit?

a pea size lump that sometimes sits on my collarbone, can move it. If I push my collarbone out I can't find it.

sending best wishes to all.

PS - There is a large thread on this too with over 100 replies that you might find interesting.

Hey! Try not to worry too much. I know its easier said than done when you find a lump. About a week after getting my first phizer vaccine i too noticed a lump above my collarbone. I balled crying when i found it. I was extremely worried as I had leukoplakia on my vocal cords last year and dysplasia which were borderline cancerous and I'm only 27. I had a ultrasound and CT scan and my consultant spoke to a head and neck radiographer which confirmed that the swollen lymph node is due to the covid vaccine. I first noticed the lump back in february and while it has gone down slightly, its still there. I've spoken to a few people who have had exactly the same issue following the vaccine. Its normal for us to overthink. Stay away from dr.google..worse thing you can do!! Keep your head up!! I'm sure all will be fine! 

Hello!!

I had my Pzifer Jab last Friday on the left side. In the week my neck (again left side) really seemed to hurt and yesterday I was fiddling about and had a swollen painful moveable lump above my collarbone. I remember seeing in the pzifer document I was given that swollen lymph node are a side effect. Went on google and there has been lots of reporting too.

This post has also made me feel better. It can't be a coincidence were all finding them after the jab. Must be because of the jab. 

Hi! 
 

This exact same thing happened to me last week and I was going out of my mind with worry! I contacted my gp and went for an appointment the day after and tjeyydidn't seem overly concerned but is referring me for an ultrasound (probably just to put my mind at rest as I'm a massive worrier) 

Glad I came across this thread as its helped me chill out about it now. Also need to stop prodding and messing with it as it probably won't help haha! 

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick update. I have now had two appointments with my GP regarding the supraclavicular lump. The first one was four weeks ago (about two weeks after my finding of the lump) and the second one three weeks later.

I have now had the swollen node for 6 weeks and, although I am almost certain that it has reduced in size a little, I cannot stop feeling anxious about it. The reduction in size is only minimal and has not progressed for the last four weeks. 

My GP has now booked me in for an ultrasound - but not via the 2-week neck-lump route, so I will be waiting for another 2-3 months. She said she'd expect the lump to have disappeared by then (in which case I could cancel the appointment), but if not, I should have the US.

I am now starting to wonder if I should ask her to make this more urgent because I have also been having problems with constant acid reflux for the past couple of years - so, I can't stop worrying that there might be something in my esophagus or stomach. (She thinks it's unrelated as I don't have any of the most common warning signs of cancer such as night sweats or weight loss.)

I am aware that I have to decide this for myself but I was wondering what other people would do in this situation. How long have you had your lumps now?

From what I've read in this and other threads, it seems to me that those swellings don't always go away within the suggested period of 4-6 weeks. Apparently, some people (in another thread, I believe) have been told during their US examinations that these reactive lumps might not go away at all once they've been chronically swollen.

So I had the same thing and it definitely shrunk but was still there by the time my second jab was due and I've just had the second one and the lump has doubled in size and I'm back to square one. I'm very anxious about it too even though doctors have said because it's movable it shouldn't be sinister but I keep getting waves of fear that that the jab has given me 'C' I know it's irrational but I'm glad I'm not the only one panicking as I kept thinking in the only one going through this worrry 

Hi

I had my first pzifer dose 6 weeks ago then about a week later noticed a lump above my left collar bone and was extremely worried, 5 weeks on and it's still there but has decreased In size and its soft & moves around im so glad I came across this thread as it seems a lot are getting the same after the jabs.

Hi ya,I'm from the UK and it's so good to find people talking about lymph nodes. 
I have had horrendous pains in groin and armpits a week and a half after having first vaccine on 29th may,had second weeks later and they are still up today. 
my GP sent me to hospital for ultra sounds on breasts and armpits and my node in my left armpit is 4mm which is boarder line. The breast consultant didn't seem worried and said she has seen so many patients with enlargers painful lymph nodes after the vanccines which have lasted for months after. I have to go back in 2 months time for it to be checked again,if it's still enlarged then they will take a biopsy from it. All blood tests have come back normal,but I've been worried sick. 
thank you all for sharing,you have helped so much. I can't find anything from the UK.

Do you still have it? Did it go away? When?

Hi 

I had it for about 8 weeks and it's completely gone down now

Taking comfort from your posts although of course I wish none of you worry or discomfort.  I came across this thread whilst googling. I had my moderna booster on 2 days ago (first 2 were Pfizer and no issues) I felt a tender area above my collar bone and there is a lump roughly half in across in this area. I know google docotr is the last thing I should be doing but it's worrying. Based on what most of you have said, the lump is staying for a punt 7-8 weeks? Wondering if I should hold off from the docs until maybe after Xmas

Hi all!

I know this is an oldish thread but I got my Moderna vaccine booster yesterday and have since had a large lump come up in my collar bone supraclavicular lymph node. It's painful, itchy, and really hot. I have health anxiety, but I have done some searching to find this study. www.eurosurveillance.org/.../1560-7917.ES.2021.26.10.2100193

This explains that the lymph node swelling is likely down to the administration of the vaccine, did anyone else have theirs injected at a very high point on their arm? I certainly did. I think the swelling is unfortunately a rare but reported side effect if the vaccine is poorly administered (no hate to the nurse who did it!) and the benign lump seems to last for a few weeks. This post is only meant to calm some nerves and anxieties, as a I please encourage you to speak to your doctor too! BUT try and relax, I'm sure its nothing too worrying for the moment! 

Hi all, it is so reassuring to read all of these comments. I have had pretty much the same thing, a smallish lump appeared under my collar bone about 5 hours after my booster jab (moderna). It is really tender to touch and is making the left side of my neck really ache and feel really stiff. My collar bone and shoulder area also hurts. 

Called the pharmacist who said this wouldn't be related to the vaccine (despite it appearing merely hours after!!) but judging by these comments it seems likely that it would be. 

Mine isnt itchy but is really hot and my neck feels almost burnt! I have been told if it is still there in a week to make a GP appointment. Not looking forward to having this for 8 weeks....?!
