She first noticed it on Sunday, it felt weird under there, she noticed it was swollen. She mentioned that she saw one of the side effects was swollen lymph nodes or something. She clarified it did not ache or hurt; when she touched it, it didn't hurt either; it just felt funny. She also clarified it didn't feel like when you put too much deodorant on, and you get the knot. You can visibly see it under the skin. She reported that it is not that tender anymore, at first it was tender. It is still a little tender, but it doesn't ache or nothing like that. She reported that she was trying to relax, but when she looked it up, it said cancer, and she did not want to have cancer. She reported that she let her doctor's office know that she was getting her vaccine at the clinic. The patient clarified it was not really a lump, the bottom part of her underarm was just swollen and when you touch the site, it still felt a little tender, not achy, just stopped feeling like how it felt before. The patient reported that since her arm wasn't sore anymore, then maybe this will start to go away.
