Hello

I have this, but along my collarbone. I would say a baked bean size lump, no pain (I don't think) from it, might have been at the start? I noticed it about 2 days after my vaccine and it is still there 2 weeks later?

I called my GP to ask if theu could check it and their attitude was shocking, apparently if I went in therr all he would do was tell me I had a lump and it wouldn't be news to me. I called back and as I was upset they got a doctor to see me.

He thinks it is a reactive lymph node to the vaccine and asked of I wanted an ultrasound to be sure which I am having on 01 June.

of course any lumps should be checked out but is does seem to be a common thing esp with AZ.

There seem to be all sorts of things going on..

There's a thread that I am on that talks about lumps on neck & collarbone, as these weren't really published as known side effects. But armpits were if this reassures you.

Yes yours has been there for a while but I'm not sure how much I believe the 2 weeks thing. There are publications about with neck lumps still being there well over a month after vaccine.

You're doing the right thing getting it checked but fingers crossed in a few weeks we are all reassured.

You're GP sounds terrible!

I hope your ultrasound goes well and it is nothing serious. My appointment is on Tuesday for an Ultrasound and Mammogram.

Your lump sounds very similar to mine. It doesn't hurt at all but I have had some aching in the general area.

Thank you so much for your reply.

That is reassuring that other people are having similar lumps after the vaccine! I was quite unwell for a while after having mine and was unable to lift my arm for just over a week. But everyone else I know who has had their vaccine have been absolutely fine!

It is a relief to hear there have been publications about neck lumps being there that long after the vaccine.

Hi there,

Has anyone found a similar discussion around post vaccine swollen glands in the neck please?

I have had one for 7 weeks now, i noticed it approx 2 weeks after my 2nd vaccination.

Thanks in advance x

Hi Natalie1612,

Hoping all is now well with you xx

I wondered if you happen to know the wherabouts/name of the post you refer to (that has about 100 replies), i'm having trouble finding another similar thread.

Thanks so much in advance x

Oh my goodness me . I've had the same but it's now been for around 11 weeks. 

Have you been to the Dr regarding yours I was just sent home saying its normal and not Pfizer related but so many people are saying the same now. I only had mine after my 2nd vaccine. The 1st vaccine didn't hurt the 2nd one was like some one had punched me in the arm 5 times.

Hi there,

Hi there Daisy12345,

I've had mine for just over 8 weeks now.

My doctor told me it was just a 'reactive gland'.
I had my ultrasound scan on Thursday and the radiographer agreed, and says it probably IS related to my vaccine...and let's face it, enough of us are experiencing this reaction!
It's a normal reponse for the body when it is fighting something, but usually glands go down after a couple of weeks. However, the radiographer said glands can be unpredictable and so it may never return to it's original size, and that's ok. Just for me to keep an eye on it and contact my doctor if it get significantly bigger. 
 

Hi there

Many thanks for the reply.

Glad all.went well with your ultra sound. Yes so many people have said about their glad in their neck haven't they. Do you get pain in the side where ypur glad is up I have discomfort and then into my collarbone do you have this? 

I feel like my Dr just brush me off with stress which is frustrating.

Many thanks

Xx

Hi there,

Sorry for late reply!

Yes, i get discomfort on & off.
For me it's a kind of tight, aching sensation which yes, can go down into my collar bone sometimes.

It's been really hard to tell what's 'real' and what was being caused by my anxiety attacks (stiff burning neck, tingling along my jaw and up the side of my face).
My doctor also said she thinks it's a reaction to anxiety.

This eased after the scan was done & Ok. But this last few days i'm getting those sensations back again. Could be anxiety, but i've never felt it here before all this happened. 

Best wishes, hope you're all ok :) xx

Oh thanks so much for replying.

This is exactely what mine is like and also the anxiety too. I think mine is also getting made worse by anxiety. I saw my Dr and finally sending me for an ultrasound but I said I'd go private as they said the wait could be months and my anxiety wouldn't be able to cope waiting that long .lol

Yeah had a pulling feeling and also tightness around my neck throat and collarbone. My friends sister also had the same with the lymp node in neck same feelings as us. It does make you worry its made me worry and I'm a worrier at the best of times. I did read now its on the details for side effects for Pfizer vaccine now the neck lympnode.

Hope your feeling OK anxiety can come at any stage even if you haven't had it before I have had new symptoms from anxiety also xxxxx
