Sore Shoulders After TDap Vaccination. Swollen Lymph Nodes On The Neck, Collar Bone. Should I Be Concerned?
About two weeks ago, I received the TDap vaccination . My right shoulder was sore which the nurse told me to expect however a few days ago while rubbing my shoulder (right), I noticed two swollen lymph nodes; one near my collarbone and another closer to my neck and in that hollow space (for lack of a better description). The nurse told me if there would be swelling, it would be in my armpit which is not the case. Any advice?
