Swollen lymph nodes weeks after Pfizer jab?

Has anyone else had this - had my Pfizer 26 days ago, and since then the lymph node swelling in my armpits has not gone down. I understand this is a common side effect it shows the vaccine is working etc etc but I have swollen lymph nodes under both arms, with red splotches where the swelling is, and it feels like someone has poured scalding water over the skin (not the moment of the scald, but the pain after). Sometimes the pain and swelling decreases a bit, and then it comes back. It's been almost a month now and I'm wondering if anyone else has had these kinds of effects for this long.

It's pretty common in the first 48 hours after a jab, but it's rare it persists for longer than 10days.

In your shoes, I'd be consulting GP, just in case there is some other factor that needs to be dealt with

I had an awful time with swollen glands after my second dose of Pfizer for roughly 10 days. The symptoms were similar to when I had glandular fever a few years back.

I had AZ and had swollen lymph nodes behind my ears after the vaccine. Doctor wasn’t concerned. I’ve had the same again and just tested positive so I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Mine were swollen for ages in my neck after mine. It’s also the same after my flu jab this year which is strange.

I had swollen lymph node when I had vaccine, wasn't ill, but felt like I was under the weather a bit. I was worried, and asked the person if it was ok to be vaccinated. Actually it went down after being vaccinated, assume it's because my immune system started working.
In your shoes, I would seek medical advice.
