Swollen lymph after vaccine

Hi all, 

I have recently been worrying like crazy after receiving the covid vaccine second dose of Pfizer on the 23rd October. It's now the 11th November and I am still noticing a swollen lymph node on the same armpit / arm as I would've been jabbed. I also recently, a week or so before the vaccine had hand foot and mouth from my baby, a tummy bug and the flu - could my body still be reacting? 
I have an ultrasound waiting for a date to be booked in with the hospital - but in the meantime I am really worried! 
I am 32 and suffer with Crohn's and Asthma, and have a 5 month year old baby boy. My anxiety levels are through the roof. Since having my baby I've become more of a worrier in every aspect!! 
The lymph's feel moveable and bean like but a little tender around the area  - anyone else experienced anything similar after the vaccine?

 
Thanks for your support

  • Hi

    I can't say much regarding the Covid vaccine as I have only had the one but I had the flu jab just under 3 weeks ago and I noticed a lump in the lower part of my neck, same side as the vaccine a few days later. I then woke up a couple of days ago with a sore armpit and have noticed a small lump under the skin there too but this one is a little sore not like the one on my neck. 
     

    I'm sorry I can't offer any advise or words of wisdom but just wanted you to know that you're not alone and fingers crossed it's just our bodies way of coping with the jabs. I have to wait until Wednesday to speak with my doctor. 
     

    Please let me know how you get on xx
