Swollen lymph nodes . Severe pain . Please help .

Posted , 9 users are following.

Please someone help!! I have had swollen lymph nodes for about 6 months now . The doctors thought I tested positive for mono but now are saying they think I had it in the past but do not have it now??? . I have severe pain in my neck from the swollen glands . My neck becomes so stiff I can't even move it . And the pain just throbs constantly . It's almost unbareable. I am waiting on results from more blood tests . I also had an ultrasound on my thryoid they found a 2cm nodule on my right side and just want to keep an eye on it to see if it grows and all else they saw was severe swollen lymph nodes. No doctors can seem to agree on anything or figure out what the problem is . All I know is I feel AWFUL! Does anyone have any insight on my situation ?? Thanks .

    Hey ! so i know how you feel i went through the same thing last year i also had an ultra sound and mine was 3.5cm i was told that it could either be from and infection some where in your body an immune disease or worst case cancer. mine was up for 9 months or so when i was sent to an oncologist but he didnt seem to worried which was a massive relief and i also had EBV 2 years previous to that and turns out i had it a second time also which apparently is rare as its already in your system and normally doesnt come back a second time and they say its worse the second time round. i had a lot more health issues after all of that but now i have to have an Endoscopy to see whats going on which is on Friday so im hoping all will be good and i hope the same for you i know how you feel and especially the waiting and not knowing whats going on i totally know how you feel! I hope this was somewhat helpful smile hope you get some answers soon x

    Hello lakenkayana,

    Well, I guess it's not u all alone now. I experienced mine about a year and 2 months now. I'm 32 year old healthy male, Just after i quit smoking and develop some unusual symptoms. My right neck node seem to be swelling then my left side node. It is just allocated under my jaw a little down line with my adam apple. It causes my shoulder to be stiff, throbbed pain and sore in my right neck. I had checked CT scan with contrast and the results came out fine. I go multiple times to different doctors and they say there is nothing to worry about. They gave me pain killer and vitamins for daily consume. Untill today the pain come and go... 1 thing for sure, i managed to control my anxiety to prevent my self from being worst. Still seeking for some answers now. Take care.
