I had the Oxford vaccine and had flu like symptoms for 3 days, but I had a strange reaction, I developed a swelling under my arm on the opposite side to the jab. I was very worried but luckily I was due to have a regular CT scan and this showed that it had not affected my lymph nodes. Unfortunately neither my doctor or consultant can explain the swelling which is still there after a month. The swelling is still there nearly 6 weeks now, and they can’t seem to identify the problem, also I have started getting hard lumps which are very red and sore on one arm. Lumps also on my legs. The hospital thinks it is Erthema Nodosum (sounds like a Harry Potter spell), I am having a biopsy later this week to see if they can identify the problem.
any one else experienced this?

Hi again Chemo556, as my granddaughter would say “pants grandad”
No as yet I have not heard of anyone developing Erythema nodosum from the Oxford but over the years have talked with a few folks post Stem Cell Transplant develop this during getting all the re-vaccinations we have to get post Stem Cell Transplant....... “you were just unlucky” they were all told.
Hope your team find a positive way forward with this.
