Hi Justmehere,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about your swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes can swell due to any minor infection, without ill effect. The majority will settle down shortly after the infection goes away, but not all of them do and can some can remain swollen forever. I am not a doctor, but I have heard of a similar effect following the AZ vaccination.

You are doing the right thing in getting this investigated and I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Here's hoping for good news.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hopefully this is all a part of the AZ vaccine then and my body is just taking its time dealing with it. Its reassuring to know others are having similar problems after this particular vaccination, it helps with my anxiety over it. 

Thank you

Hi all, thanks so much for posting this. I am actually now 10/52 post pfizer and although tennis ball lump under arm has gone down it's still bigger albeit soft and non tender than the other side. Going to get it checked this week

Hi to All on this thread,

This is a new problem for the forum and I am glad to hear that you are following up on your vaccination side-effects and, hope that nothing untoward is found in all cases.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you all get on, as I'm sure that there will be others who experience these problems post vaccination too and it would be helpful to be able to offer them some reassurance. 

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Totally agree ..... also think that we are relatively early in the rounds of vaccinations ( I work in a and e ) so for my age have had earlier than my peers. Likely there will be more in the future but we can assist and reassure

Hi Saz,

The more we can learn from experience and the sooner we can learn it, the better we should be able to help people in the future.

Kind regards,

I had my examination and ultrasound yesterday . They found several more swollen Lymph Nodes under my arm and towards my breast that I wasn't aware of. But fortunately everything is ok and they are very certain its linked to the AZ vaccine. They said they have had several people with similar lumps and that Lymph Nodes may stay swollen for a year. I hope this helps anyone else who is having similar issues at the moment.

Hey Justmehere thanks so much for this. Am as it happens just waiting to see the Dr now after they tried to palm me off with no face to face review. Will see what she says. However this is hugely reassuring. 
 

Best wishes

Hello

so glad you got on ok and that it gives us hope. We seem to all be suffering like this!

Just seen my Gp, good prod round and couldn't feel any difference or any bumps. If changes will get looked at again but no family history so feel a bit reassured x

I had trouble getting an appt with my GP.  Appts are done by telephone ans then you get invited in if they feel they need to see you.

I explained a lump had come up and the GP told me that there was no point in seeing me as he would just tell me what I knew and I said surely that isn't the right attitude as how do you know it isn't anything to worry about.

I just wanted reassurance as Ok this could be vaccine related (my lump) but what if it wasn't or if someone had something more serious and they are told the same.

Anyway mine has decreased but still there so that it a good sign but I am having a scan on 01 June anyway.

Ladies further more I came across a video for melanoma follow up patients from a health and social care trust ( I don't work for them) and it says when examine lymph nodes your arm should be relaxed. So arm behind head or relaxed on a cushion . Mine feel same with this
