My goodness, am i glad i've found this thread!

I have had a swollen gland in my neck (same side as vaccine) for 7 weeks now.
I've had my bloods done, which are fine, and they have booked me in for a scan (this will be next week).
At no point has either doctor i've spoken to mentioned or asked about my vaccination.
I've been in such a state of worry, and only just recently discovered that swollen glands is a known-about side effect, albeit a less common one.

I would also be very interested to hear how long you've had your swollen glands for, and after how long (if at all) they eventually return to normal size?

Sending best wishes to you all.
Kindest regards xx

Hello

As well as this thread there is another with about 200 replies about the vaccine and the potential side effect, of course both equally important.

I had mine for about 12 weeks I think? One GP was horrified that I suggested it was the vaccine and the other said he would think it was highly likely and it is a good sign. I think some GPs just do not want to say it could be for fear of people not wanting the vaccine.

Thanks so much for your reply!
And i'm so pleased yours has returned to normal.

Was yours in the neck, or elsewhere? x

I'm waiting for a call back from my GP to inform her that i feel this could be vaccine related, as it's the only thing which seems to make sense.
I've been having such awful anxiety attacks...i wish i'd known about this side-effect earlier.

Best wishes xx

Hi  

I have had a swollen gland now in my neck for around 11 weeks. It's on the left side the same side as my Pziser vaccine I only noticed it after my 2nd one as my neck was tender.

I have been to drs and they say its normal but worry as I have discomfort and its sore to touch. But when I mentioned could it be from my vaccine they said properly not. Wasn't sent for a scan just sent home. Just worring now as still there.

I also didn't realise glads in the neck could be Pfizer related as he said normal in the armpit they occur so glad to see your post that it is a rare side effect in neck.
