Pfizer sore lymph nodes

[EatTheRich]

Any one else had this?

Had the second vaccine on Friday and this morning I was getting the washing out of the machine and oh my god the pain! It like shot across my armpit and down my arm, it's the arm I had the injection in but it's still so sore.

I had a good feel and there's a pretty good lump in my armpit obviously it's my lymph node but it's so big! I do have a very severe scalp infection at the moment so I'm delightful in all angles, pussy, scabby sores on my head (on antibiotics) and my sore arm from my injection.

Which one is more likely to have caused the sore lymph node

Lymph nodes swell as part of an immune response (the lymph system and immune system are closely linked). I have read that swollen lymph nodes are a side effect of vaccines... I can’t remember if it was of Pfizer specifically but it definitely is a known side effect.

I have lymph system issues and antibiotics always makes my swelling go down but infection and vaccines make it worse so I’d expect the vaccine or infection to be provoking an immune response and causing it. Everyone is different though so please do check with a dr if you’re concerned.

I hope you feel better soon.

I had pfizer about 2 weeks ago and my armpit lymph nodes only went down about 5 days after the shot. Its a good sign, it shows your immune system is reacting in a good way to the vaccine and building your immunity

I had this after both pfizer vaccines and csn still feel soreness under my armpit and arm on the side of my injection 3 weeks on.

DP has just had second Pfizer and his armpit really swelled up..has started to go down now 5 days later. A sign your immune system is doing its job!

Came on here to see if anyone else had this.
I had my second Pfizer jab on Saturday and woke up this morning with a really painful armpit.
I thought it's probably a good indication that my lymph nodes are doing what they should.
Reassuring to hear it's not just me.

@Snozzlemaid glad it's not just me! It's so sore!

I had this for a few days about a week after my first Pfizer jab! No other side effects though thankfully. I have my second tomorrow

Me too after 2nd Pfizer, took a week to subside.
