Supraclavicular Lymph Node.. Worried!!!!

Hello All, 

I recently had my covid vaccine - I noticed my shoulder / collarbone was sensitive when I touched it a day after I noticed I had a small, moveable, lump. 
 

I spoke to the GP on the phone (because of covid) she said it's likely a lymph node from the jab. I went away and still wasn't happy as no one saw me... so I called back and spoke to a different GP... she didn't sound worried either, but called me in... I saw her, she felt it and didn't blink an eye lid... but said she would give me a blood test for peace of mind. 
 

I rang back to get the results and spoke to a further GP... my blood tests were completely normal.... I explained it to him too and he also didn't seem like he was concerned. 
 

I work at a private hospital, so went to see a consultant dermatologist on his lunch break ( he has had a special interest in lumps and bumps for 28 years ) - he wasn't worried, said it was small like a little finger tip size, it was moveable etc... and then he said come and see me in three weeks for a follow up. I went back, he said there's been no change. So he wasn't worried... 

I have severe health anxiety and Google is sending me through the roof...

has anyone had a supraclavicular node story and it not be sinister?? 
 

I suffer with breast acne, could this cause the swelling???

    Would you give me an update?

    I had my sec dose of Pfizer in July and I still have the lump. I feel that it is now a bit smaller but I can still feel it. I had an ultrasound two months ago and they said it is visible but it is not concerning. Everyone calls me crazy but I have a family and I can't stop sleeping at night.

    Please tell me how is yours and what you did.

     

     

    Thank you

    Hi 

    i had my first jab last April in my left arm. Shortly after my supra clavicle node appeared swollen. I had blood tests and a scan and was told it was nothing to worry about. I had my other two jabs in my right arm. Had a small swelling in lymph node on right hand side but this disappeared after a few days. My left hand side lymph node, though, is still swollen. It does go down but then comes back. I have tried to not think about it. I have a feeling it may always swell now if I feel slightly under the weather. Hope you are ok xxxxx

    Hi Freddie,

    I've had exactly the same. Swollen supraclavicular lymph node on the left side after my first COVID jab (same side as jab). I then had the next two jabs on the other side with no reaction. But the left side never went down completely. The node is still slightly enlarged and comes and goes as it pleases. Seems to be connected to heat somehow. I, too, feel that it will probably stay that way. Not a great feeling.

    I had it checked out last year and the specialist said it was nothing to worry about. But that's easier said than done, isn't it?
