Lymphadenitis: You should get this examined, particularly if you own or have been around a cat. The tenderness is disturbing since it suggests that this is inflammatory and the source and cause of the inflammation should be investigated. Good luck and have a nice thanksgiving.

Had Tdap shot a few days ago. Side effects have subsided and arm is much less sore, but today my armpit is quite sore on the side the shot was given. Cannot feel any lumps or swollen nodes. What is this?
