I have an occipital lymph node that I noticed shortly after getting my COVID Booster shot. Has anyone ever experienced this?

      Just knowing that it's there bothers me

        @Chippergirl same for me

      It hurts for you sometimes?

      • Chippergirl

        659d

        @Mariate no, I don't have any pain

    • Chippergirl

      Yes, I did have an ultrasound. I was told that it was about 1.1cm which is within the normal range. They're only concerned about lymph nodes that exceed 1.5cm in diameter. The ultrasound was normal. It still bothers me knowing that it's there. I did the ultimate no no and googled it and the worse popped up

        @Chippergirl what does it mean is the ultimate no no?

        • Chippergirl

          659d

          @Mariate googling symptoms

    • Mariate

      Is not hard how yours? And what size? They did not order ultrasound? What they say

      • Chippergirl

        659d

        @Mariate I'm assuming my lymph node feels hard because it's right near a bone

    • Mariate

      I do have the same problem just under my left ear, it does not go away, have you been at a doctors?

      • Chippergirl

        659d

        @Mariate is it close to your hairline?

        • Mariate

          659d

          @Chippergirl no is mor e likely behind the jaw

      • Chippergirl

        659d

        @Mariate it's under my left ear as well. I first noticed it after I received my boosted shot. Who knows how long it's been there

      • Chippergirl

        659d

        @Mariate is it hard? I went to several docs. None of them seem to be concerned
