Swollen armpit after 2nd Pfizer

[BunTooti]

Anyone else had this?

Me! Lasted 3 days and then returned to normal. actually called Pfizer to report but on one got back to me!

Yep, only lasted a couple of days. Common side effect

Yes. Lasted a couple of days. I googled- normal reaction to a vaccine apparently.

Yes! Only noticed it when trying to put deodorant on, ouch!! Settled down after a couple of days though.

Totally standard reaction to any vaccination given in the arm.

Yes I had this for about a week after both pfizer vaccines

Yes

I had this too! Never had it with any other vaccine but it only lasted a few days.

Yes! Visible to the naked eye - I have never had a swollen gland like it. Like PP, it disappeared within 3 or 4 days

The Lymph nodes in your armpit are basically rubbish bins. They will swell up if they are reacting to anything that provokes an antibody response. The only thing you should be aware of is that it might affect the results of a mammogram www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid19-vaccine-can-it-affect-your-mammogram-results%3famp=true

Funny enough I just mentioned this to my Mum. I've got this after my second but not after first.

Yes! Thank you all, so reassuring. Had my jab Wednesday so hopefully it'll go down soon.

Yes - swollen lymph glands is the cause. Means you have had a good immune response recognising and responding to the vaccine. Will settle in a week or so

I did. I went down on its own pretty quickly.

Its on page 4 of the leaflet. Says to see a doctor if it lasts longer than 10 days and mention it if you go for a mammogram in the few weeks after.

"What to expect after tour covid-19 vaccination" this leaflet not the PIL

Not me but a friend had this reaction.

Thats the leaflet people in England get anyway

I had this after Pfizer one and it lasted four weeks! Haven’t had the second one yet.

Yes, I had this. Cleared up after a couple of days.

Yes. Also had swollen glands on my neck/throat.

Yes, my lymph glands were furious about the whole thing (groin ones too). Went down after about a week, but fatigue and shivers are lingering. I think I'm a week ahead of you on timings OP, I was Weds before last.

Yep, lasted about 5 days.

Definitely gone down a bit today.

Yes but my swollen lymph node was on my collarbone… didn’t realise we had them there until that happened! Had to google to find out what it was but it’s normal. Mine was quite sore but went down within a few days.
