Symptoms of lymphoma but normal excisional biopsy?!
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've been having strange symptoms for about 6 months now. I had a swollen lymph node in my groin for about 6 months, which I finally got taken out and biopsied last week- results came back normal. That's good, I know, but I am still having weird symptoms:
1)itchiness- I feel this almost constantly now- seems to be getting worse. It comes in spreading patches, especially chest, arms, legs, buttocks, and abdomen. No rash.
2)pelvic pain- dull and very occasional, seems to be in ovary area, pain spreads down leg. Also, my IUD which I had in for 4 years suddenly started to migrate and I had to have it removed. Transvaginal ultrasound looked normal.
3) Lymph node pain. Besides the 12mm node that was in my groin, but after biopsy showed to be completely normal, something still feels wrong with my lymphatic system. I randomly get dull pains in my armpit nodes, and my nodes in my abdomen, neck, and arms seem to feel bumpy occasionally, like corn on the cob, then go back to normal. One night the nodes on my abdomen were very enlarged and felt warm- my boyfriend felt them too and started to get worried about me.
4) Intermittent ear pain. I don't feel sick or anything, but occasionally I feel pain in both ears- I've never had any ear infections in my life, so this is new and unusual for me.
Has anyone had any similar experiences? I have so many of the symptoms of lymphoma, but my blood tests and biopsy have come back normal. I am still so worried and just haven't felt normal- I still have a gut feeling that something is wrong. I know it could be anxiety, but all of my symptoms are very pronounced and happen when I'm not thinking about it or stressed at all.
