Booster - lymph node side effect?

Just wondered if anyone has had swollen lymph nodes as a side effect? I had my booster the other day and have pain and odd feeling in my right armpit. It is a less common side effect but I haven't seen anyone mention it.

I haven't had my booster, but i did have swollen lymph nodes in my armpit with my first jab. I think it's a known side effect. It disappeared after 2-3 days.

Thank you, I'm hoping it won't last long. The advice is to see a doc if it goes on more then 10 days. It's really painful though - I'm taking ibuprofen but it's not doing much.

I have the same after jab on Thursday. Both armpits a bit swollen but left is bad. It hurts and I have to squash it to close my arm

I had it after my second one- really sore, lasted a couple of days

I had my booster a week ago. Pfizer. Armpit really swollen and sore and hot to touch. Also felt it in my neck and ear on the same side. Subsided in a few days.
