I had a small lump in my arm after my first two shots which lasted about two weeks each. After my third shot, four weeks ago, I had a small lump again. It was just like the others until 3.5 weeks after the shot. Now it is increasing in size and marked with a bruise. It is very sore and painful to touch. Even if my shirt sleeve is resting on in, it hurts. Has anybody else experienced this side effect? My doctor said not to worry, but I am!

I had my first Gardasil injection Jan '08. I noticed lumps in my armpits around the time I was due for my second shot. I told the nurse about it and was told they hadn't heard of any side effects like that before. The lumps come and go. I decided not to get my third shot. The lumps are different sizes and I can have up to 3 at a time in both armpits. Some are beginning to feek very sore. I am going to see an outside doctor hopefully within the week to get advice and treatment.

yes, this happened to me too. I found out it goes away after a while. Its just the medicine not going into the blood streem. It helps to massage your arm.
