I had my flu jab on Thursday lunchtime and have had some odd (and really painful) symptoms since yesterday. I am just presuming they are a reaction to the jab but I have had it 3 years running with no side effects so just want to check if these symptoms sound familiar?
I have a big (and hot) swelling above my collar bone. It feels like a really enlarged gland. It is sore to touch or brush past and the bones around that area are also really sore.
This morning I also have a swelling below my collar bone, on my upper chest. Again, it is hot to touch and really sore.
Up from the neck swelling to my ear feels a bit odd and uncomfortable but nothing terrible.
This is all on the same side as the jab which is what makes me presume I am having some kind of reaction to it.
I am a lot wheezier today than normal so have been using my inhalers to keep that under control. Aside from feeling sore, wheezy and a bit knackered, I am generally feeling fine.
Has anyone else had a reaction like this? Do I just keep an eye on it all and make sure it doesn't get worse?
Thanks
