Has anyone had ‘Covid arm’ come back?

I had the Moderna vaccine years ago and I did get ‘Covid arm’ - sore arm where I had the injection a firm red lump where the needle went on and then a red circle around it, couldn’t sleep on that side, it was hot and itchy etc and it went away after a couple of months

Now, 3(?) years later it’s back? It looks exactly the same and the same symptoms. However I’ve googled and I can’t find any information about if it’s normal, so has this happened to anyone else?

I have had no other injections or anything since then so it’s not a recent reaction to anything I’ve just had.

I had this for a couple of days earlier this week -it started the day I tested positive for Covid which I thought was a bad cold.

My last booster was either two or three years ago I can't recall. It's the same arm and was tender in the same way it did after my jab. I also couldn't find any similar experiences.

Sorry, I didn’t see your reply earlier! I wasn’t sick, unless I just didn’t have symptoms… It has started to fade and feel better now much like it did when I had the original injection. I hope you’re feeling better now 😊

Yes! I occasionally get that feeling, makes me wonder if when it happens I actually have Covid but am unaware of it, although it didn't happen when I knowingly had Covid. I had 2x Pfizer and 1 Moderna booster 3 years ago!
