Anyone had this after booster?

[Jerkface1]

Had the Moderna booster Wednesday evening, Thursday noticed a hard lump had formed under the skin and red mark, Thursday night couldn't even sleep as it hurt so bad, burning hot and painful, the pain is easing now and the lump has flattened somewhat but the red mark seems to be getting bigger, these are pics from different days, should I be worried?
Apart from the arm I was so ill Thursday! I was fine after my first two jabs but this one floored me

I felt rotten after mine, then developed the arm thing a couple of days later. I took an antihistamine and that cleared the arm up overnight.

Forgot to say that now the pain is easing but it's started itching loads and is red hot to touch. Will try antihistamine, thank you

Hers was mine. It last about 48 hours.

Nope, but DD did after her preschool vaccinations. Apparently it's considered a fairly common response to vaccines in general and nothing to worry about.

Ignore the first photo. That's my rug!

Call 111 if you're worried though. Better safe than sorry.

Brilliant! If your arm looked like that, you'd need to be very worried!

I didn’t get it when I had the booster but I did after my second vaccine. It was a common side effect called Moderna arm. My lump was massive, really hot, red and itchy. It disappeared after a week or so.

Nothing like that but I do have a very swollen area on my collarbone which I'm presuming is related to the booster.

Covid arm. A very common side effect of vaccines.

A local reaction around vaccination site is pretty common.

Thanks everyone, you've put my mind at ease

Yup very common. Mine looked just like the photos.

Yep it’s covid arm. I had a visible egg lump and a hot itchy rash. The rash has left a mark on my arm that’s still visible a month later. I even took “it’s” temperature with a forehead thermometer gun thing - it was over 38° at one point. My actual temp was normal.

Yes OP I had exactly this with my Moderna booster. Red lump, sore and then went really itchy for a few days. I had mine about 2 weeks before Christmas and it took about a week to clear. It's completely back to normal now.

Yes I had that after my Pfizer booster. Was very hot and itchy around day 3-5 (forgotten which was the worst day now). It started to go down after that but the lump was still visible for 9 days. Antihistamine, ibuprofen and constant ice packs helped.

Yeah that happened with my Pfizer booster too. It didn't start calming down until the fourth day. Itchy too.

Yes I did, I couldn't sleep very much one night the pain was so bad in my arm.

I had that, Covid arm, it took up most of my upper arm and lasted about a month.

My arm was painful and solid to the touch for about a week

Very common after a lot of vaccinations. I have had same after flu jab. (And looked like Thor for 48hrs as a well!)

Me too, after my first flu jab - it was quite dramatic!

Take antihistamine for a good few days.

I have just posted a thread myself about this, I had second dose pfizer and i have red round the injection site looks like insect bite infected. It must be a normal side effect from pfizer but if it keeps getting bigger etc just get checked for peace of mind. It is a worry when you have something new in your body as you never know how you will react to it. Best wishes
