Anyone with under arm swelling after pfizer?

Had my second vaccine on Monday and yesterday afternoon developed swelling under my arm, when I walk it feels like I'm carrying something under there if that makes sense!

Anyone else have this?

Yes, its just your lymph nodes reacting as you'd expect when your immune system is activated.

I was fine but my best friend had exactly as you describe for a couple of days.

Yes, after my second jab. It lasted around 24 hours and it was awful to sleep on. Sad

Yes me but it’s a normal response to a vaccine and will go after a few days.

Yes, all my lymph nodes were up on the same side of the jab, on second jab not first. Was very painful but went after a few days.

Thanks all hopefully it goes away soon.

Yes I have a friend who had Pfizer and she mentioned today that she still has sore underarms, a few weeks after her second dose.

Yup, got it for a week after first and a day or two after second. It’s a known side effect.

Yes mine did! I woke up 2 days after my second with a big lump and it was very sore, it took a few days to go down.

Yes I had this and assumed it was a lymph node reaction. A bit sore but went down after a couple of days.
