Sore lymph node with Covid

[Jimmy_9]

Hi All

I am currently Covid positive and now a lymph node in my neck has popped up and is quite sore.

Has anyone else had that issue?

I’m waiting on a call back from my cll specialist

I have been in wait and watch since 2019 and no real symptoms

Thanks

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, my nodes enlarged when I had covid and they were tender. They stayed like that for weeks but I did inform my specialist and she advised me what to watch out for and what would be worrying to her.

They did go back but it honestly took weeks, I think it was close to 2 months to be honest with you.

Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it. It’s been playing on my mind all day, feeling like it’s going make me need treatment earlier.

U understand Jimmy, it's unsettling...but it isn't unusual. The main concern would be if the node would continue getting bigger and more troublesome.

If you have a specialist nurse, give her a call. She always puts my mind at ease.

Hope you make a quick recovery soon. How are you feeling? ❤

I am W & W since 2020, with SLL version. Haven’t caught Covid yet, but after my most recent booster (Moderna 100 mc), my axillary lymph nodes were swollen (more than usual) and painful for about 3 weeks. It resolved a few days ago so very pleased😁

My lymph nodes on the left side where I had the injection were swollen after my 4th covid booster, it was very uncomfortable but went away after 10 days.

I recently learned that the lymph duct on the left side of our chest (thoracic duct) drains a much larger portion of our lymphatic system into our blood circulation system than the right side (right lymphatic duct). So, I am going to try getting the next booster in my right arm. I doubt it will make a difference (as there is a full systemic response to the vaccines), but it’s worth an experiment!
