Oxford Vaccine - armpit lumps

[AJ297]

Has anyone suffered with armpit lumps after the Oxford vaccine? Was it just one or both?

I had my vaccine a few days ago and now have a large hard lump under that armpit, not painful but is moveable.

I've recently had some investigations for lumps under both armpits and I'm now wondering if these were related to the first vaccine.

Me!

Same arm where I got the jab.

It felt a bit sore the other day, touched it and my heart skipped a beat when I felt how big it was.

It’s a little lump that I’ve had examined in the past and it’s a lymph node.

Apparently it’s very common, since the lymph nodes (part of the immune system) will be on overdrive.

It is know as a side effect but the side you had the vaccine on, not both, according to
www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/the-vaccines/side-effects-of-the-coronavirus-vaccines

It’s just an enlarged lymph node as pp has said.

Yes I had this! It went down after a few days

Thanks all.

@TimeQuest01 yes! I cannot believe how big it is! I had one before and now I'm certain it was due to the first vaccine. It's gone down now but is still a hard pea sized lump - is that similar to yours?

@AJ297, mine was actually like a grape!

Back to a small bean now...

Thanks @TimeQuest01. I have a pea from my first jab and a grape from recent. 😂

I haven't but when I went for a mammogram the doctor asked if I had had the jab, and when, because of the possibility of swollen lymph nodes being picked up on the scan.
