Swollen lymph node

Posted , 2 users are following.

For about 3 months now I have had severe left ear pain and make a my face and neck feel swollen along with the ear. Been to doctor and ENT and they both said it was tmj. I was referred to a pain clinic Nd when she evaluated me ahe said it isn't tmj but I have some issues with my lymph nodes and to go back to doctor. Would it cause the severe pain in the war. I can't lay on that side and feels like knife stabbing pain. Any advice be great. Thanks
