Swollen lymph nodes after Pfizer vaccine

Hi everyone, 

first time posting here but needing some reassurance or advice.

I got my first Pfizer vaccine in June and I found a lump under my armpit a week afterwards. I didn't worry too much as I expected this from online research. 

A few weeks later, i found a small pea sized lump above my collar bone (more on my shoulder next to my neck). Again, I  just thought this was a side effect.

I then got my second vaccine in September and a week later, I found a larger lump on the side of my neck, which could be visibly seen when I tilted my head. At this point, I still had all of my other lumps, all painless.

I went to 2 different doctors who told me the armpit lump was a nerve, which I didn't really understand. And I have also been referred for an ultrasound for my neck lumps, which I should be at this month.

Sorry for such a long post, but has anyone experienced these side effects from the Pfizer vaccine?

    Hi ya, I am also going through the same thing. I've noticed a swelling under my armpit with swollen lymphnodes. I did however notice this before my booster jab but had my flu jab a few weeks before. 

    Anyway I had visited the hospital with chest tightness and a CT showed and incidental finding of a 3cm shadow in my right breast that needs further characterizion??? When they told my I first assumed it was my left breaat because of the swelling under my left armpit but its mt right breast. I can not feel anything but the doctor said if it is deep inside then you can't always feel a lump. 

     

    I am on the 2 week pathway to be seen at thr breast clinic this Thursday so hopefully will have some answers. 

    Hope all goes well and you get some answers x
