I've been having some niggles in my shoulder and collarbone too, but I also had this back in 2019 so not sure if this is anxiety. Appointment through for 26/04 despite being told it would be within 14 days. I contacted the gp again and she expepedited my appointment to urgent suspected cancer on 22/03. However after 2 weeks my lumps were still there under my armpit, albeit a lot smaller, no breast pain though. A lot of people I work with had the same symptoms with the swelling so I felt better. They said it could be from the vaccine and to keep an eye and call back in 4 weeks. I contacted the gp after being concerned as underarm lumps are linked to breast cancer and I'd been refered already. The next day my underarm was incredibly sore and uncomfortable and I could feel quite easily a huge lump. On the 5th March I had my second dose of Pfizer covid vaccine. She referred me anyway as routine for my peace of mind. Dr seemed happy, felt my breasts and underarms and was happy there were no lumps. In Feb this year I noticed pain again, the same as before so I went to get checked out. Had an exam and ultrasound and all was fine. I went back to the Dr's and he could feel what I could and I got an appointment. The pain went but I then could feel a lump. In 2019 I went to the Dr's with breast pain and was fobbed off with see how it goes and come back next week if still the same. I have an urgent appointment on Monday and I'm terrified. The doctor told me to stop poking the lymph node, too, giving me a maximum allowance of once a week! All the best, and hope we can all be completely reassured soon. It's not long since I had a healthy blood test and also no cancer found in scans of my lower abdomen after previous pains. She wasn't particularly concerned despite my breast cancer history. I am partway through waiting 3 weeks, as advised by a GP. I felt extremely worried after finding the swollen node then looking on Google over a weekend, but feel calmer and more reassured after finding out about the others on this forum. It's not long since many of us had our first covid injection, and we're all waiting to see whether this turns out to be not such an uncommon side-effect, and also one that can last weeks rather than days. Swollen lymph nodes have been quite well reported in the US after vaccination, both in the armpits and supraclavicular. I think it's still early days for covid reaction reporting, and you are in the same boat as others on this forum, including me. I suffer with breast acne, could this cause the swelling? Has anyone had a supraclavicular node story and it not be sinister? I have severe health anxiety and Google is sending me through the roof. I went back, he said there's been no change. and then he said come and see me in three weeks for a follow up. I work at a private hospital, so went to see a consultant dermatologist on his lunch break ( he has had a special interest in lumps and bumps for 28 years ) - he wasn't worried, said it was small like a little finger tip size, it was moveable etc. I explained it to him too and he also didn't seem like he was concerned. I rang back to get the results and spoke to a further GP. but said she would give me a blood test for peace of mind. I saw her, she felt it and didn't blink an eye lid. she didn't sound worried either, but called me in. so I called back and spoke to a different GP. I went away and still wasn't happy as no one saw me. I spoke to the GP on the phone (because of covid) she said it's likely a lymph node from the jab. I recently had my covid vaccine - I noticed my shoulder / collarbone was sensitive when I touched it a day after I noticed I had a small, moveable, lump.
