May 7, 2011

I have a few bumps on the base of my skull / top of my neck.  One of them is large and the others are small.  They are quite painful and swollen  and have been there for a week or so.  What could this be?  Should I see a doctor about it?

Swollen Hands And Feet, Sore Throat - Lymph Nodes/glands

My friend is staying with me and is feeling really ill and dizzy, his hands and feet are swollen, his neck is swollen and so is his face. His glands and lymph nodes are really swollen. He is really fatigued and has a sore throat. mostly it sounds like Flu symptoms apart from the swelling so can anyone help with an accurate diagnosis, he had his tonsils removed so it isn't tonsillitis.

I gave him co-codamol 30mg/500mg and ibuprofen 600mg tabs, he feels a little better but the swelling hasn't gone down much at all.

Vulvar Cancer? Labia Lump And Painful Lymph Nodes

I'm 15 and right now I'm cry my eyes out. For about a year, I've had a hardish, moveable, painless lump under my left labia majora. I am not sexually active and suffer with anxiety so I'm freaking out in case I have vulvar cancer. I have no symptoms, nothing is out of the usual, I'm just really scared. Also there seems to be some kind of painful lymph node on the top of my inner thigh, near my vagina, which swells up when I'm sick, it's quite painful but goes down and only seems to come when I have an infection.

Swollen Lymph Nodes (all Over Body) For Years

I'm a 21 year old male. About three years ago I started having different lymph nodes in my body swell. Its at the point now where everywhere in my body there are swollen lymph nodes that have been swollen for years. It seems there is lymph nodes pus that has accumulated in areas as well. The places include my neck, back of head, private area, and more. I'm really scared and worried. None of the places really hurt, and its been like this for years. What does this mean. Will i just be able to take antibiotics or something to stop the spread of these lymph nodes from swelling. What is the problem that I have.

Cancer :: Swollen Lymph Nodes And Liver Not Functioning

I have had swollen lymph nodes now for around 6 months in my neck head and behind my ears.

My Liver Function is 3 times higher than what it should be and is getting higher every blood test I have.

My spleen is swollen.

Im suffering night sweats and breathing difficulty.

I am suffering severe headaches and my head is swollen all over the shape of it changes weekly with one side swelling or the top swelling etc.

My vision has depleted considerably over the last six months.

I am suffering ear ache because the nodes behind and in front of my ear are pressing against it.

My Doctor sat on this for 5 months saying it must be an infection and it would go down. When two nodes popped up in the top of the back of my head 2 weeks ago he booked me in for a biopsy on the nodes in neck and for some blood test and a x-ray on my chest.

My bloods have just come back and for the first time in the last 6 months the test for glandular fever has come back positive. I am still having a biopsy and my doctor suspects it is not just glandular fever.

I have been reading up on lymphoma and personally think I have lymphoma of the brain. Could anyone give me a second opinion on this I would really really appreciate it. I am 20 year old fairly fit male.

HIV :: Swollen Lymph Glands Under Armpit

So I recently had this fling with a guy from my uni, we slept together but did not have anal sex. We just performed mutual masturbation, and he ejaculated on me (gross I know). Anyways, he is joining the army in a couple of months and obviously they make sure you need to be clean so I am not too worried.

Anyways, for the past week and a half I have had a swollen red bump under my armpit, I am pretty sure it's a swollen lymph thingo - I had one under my right armpit, now I have one on my left.

Tis very small and I have 0 other symptoms, but I am scared to death of the doctors for some weird reason and always get anxiety when I go. So I try to go as little as possible.

While I have no other symptoms, is there a chance it could be HIV? This was about 2-4 weeks ago.

Shingles :: Recurrence With Swollen Lymph Nodes , Cheek Filled With Liquid?

I am 21 now, I had gotten shingles when I was 20. I only had it for a week luckily but, it was on my face...around my left eye and cheek area. While I had it, I had a lymph node swollen behind my ear that was pretty large also a couple lymph nodes on my head that were swollen as well. Both with piercing, constant pain. Then with the Shingles, the marks on my face and near my eye also hurt BAD. I got through all of that, no scarring.VERY lucky on that one. But now about 8 months later I have the same lymph node behind my ear swollen, my cheek actually filled up with fluid one day and when I opened my mouth something popped, all the fluid was released and the trash can became my best friend that night. NASTY. I thought it may have been a abscessed tooth causing the swelling and fluid build up, but after the fluid left my body my tooth stopped hurting. Now I'm just kinda lost and looking for some help on what may be going on.

Sinus Infections :: Drooping Eyebrow, Red Nostrils And Swollen Lymph Nodes

I have constant sinus issues since I was a kid. I am 24 now. I have allergies and asthma witch I take medicine for both. The past few years I have gotten 3-4 sinus infections per year. I have constant post nasal drip and is normal to me also breathing through my mouth is more normal to me. I get dry annoying irritating sinuses often. For a good while now I have noticed that all on the left side- my left nostril is always more red and swollen, my left neck Lymph node is ALWAYS swollen or at least 3 times the size of the right one. My doctor has felt and since I have sinus issues a lot she said its normal. Last and most visible my left eyebrow is lower than the right and slightly my left eyelid is lower. So sort of "drooping" compared to the right side. I can pull the skin taught above my left eye brow and make it look even, when I do this my face feels better but I didn't even realize it feels less better when it's sitting how it is. If that makes any sense, idk. Any ideas what's going on?

Glands :: Possible Swollen Lymph Node In Pubic Area?

I am a 30 year old female with a healthy lifestyle. For about 6 months I have had a lymph node (I think) in the top left side corner of my pubic area that is swollen for most of the day. It goes down at night and after being awake for a couple hours, it swells up again. Sometimes its more swollen than others and becomes painful to touch. It only happens on the left side.

I recently went to my primary doctor (general internist) for her to check it out but it wasn't swollen at the time (early AM) so she couldn't feel it. She ran a blood test and everything came back normal. She said that they are usually nothing to worry about if I don't have any other unusual symptoms.

I advised her of a condition in my left leg called Fibrous Dysplasia, in which I was born with and have had 4 surgeries for (last one was 5 years ago). She told me that since I don't have regular cuts on my legs, or anywhere else, and that I have no other odd symptoms that it could be caused by the associated inflammation of the problem in my leg.

I dont seem to think that its being caused by the inflammation in my leg because I was born with this condition and have had many many flare ups of inflammation and the swollen node started only 6 months ago.

I do have fairly bad environmental allergies so I am contributing it to that, but again, I've had allergies all my life too.

Also, I developed a problem about 4 years ago with a rash. It only appears on my legs (both) most of the time (about 90%) and sometimes on my arms. The rash shows up as small and large (largest size of a silver dollar) hard, red, and painful lumps. I've gotten a biopsy to confirm that it is a rash from my dermatologist. I also did an elimination diet on my own to try and figure out if they were occurring due to a food intolerance but didn't have any successful results.

With all of this information, would anyone be able to provide me with advice or a next step? Is there some other test that should be run? Could this be something other than a lymph node?

Lymph Nodes :: Enlarged Under Right Jaw - Molar Infection?

I have had an enlarged lymph node under my right jaw for over a year now, i have had biopsies, blood work, ct scan, x-rays, pet scan, took antibiotics, and the doctors still don't know what it is, it does not hurt, but i can feel it every once in awhile when i swallow, and i seem to have a lot of throat problems whenever i get sick, i'm a healthy 26 year old male and workout 4 days a week, but the one thing that i think, may be an issue is that i have had a bad molar tooth right above where the node is. i'm not 100% sure my tooth has been bad the whole time i've had the swollen node, but i am starting to think this can be the problem, the doctor told me that its a possibility it could be the problem, but i'm tired of being ran around by these doctors, i went to the dentist and he told me there was a slight possibility that the tooth is causing this, but i'm afraid the dentist will tell me anything to spend 3000 on a root canal, i do not want to get it removed with surgery unless it absolutely necessary ...

Cancer :: Lump On Occipital Lymph Node

I have had a recent ultrasound scan done on a hard lump on what seems to be my occipital lymph node, it doesn't move at all, it feels like bone and is painless, my lymph nodes on my neck have been swollen for 15 months and now in the past 2 weeks another lump has appeared on my shin bone, that lump is also solid and doesn't move however this one has become tender, i am being referred by the doctor who did my scan to have some "needlework" done i was wondering if this means a biopsy?

I also have other symptoms however i am currently being tested for lupus and my gp is querying antiphospholipid syndrome (hughes syndrome), my recent bloods tests have shown my cardiolipin antibodies as positive (i've had this test done 3 times within the past 3 months, positive every time) also my ESR was highlighted as 2mm (but the gp assured me this is normal)

I am a 24 year old female and also an epileptic and unable to take epilepsy medications due to severe allergic reactions which is now believed to be my immune system fighting off the medications, hence all the testing which is what has led up to this point. Another symptom when i deep breath i get a sharp pain in my diaphragm in the chest.

I really want to know if this could be lymphoma or if someone has had a similar experience as i've had no direct answers yet and i'm getting worried?

Lymph Nodes :: Jaw / Collarbone Slowly Getting Bigger

I have recently found two swollen lymph nodes, one above my collarbone and one at the top of my jaw under the ear (not sure what this one is called?) both on the right. I have had night sweats for about 18 months, very run down and tired, and itchy armpits of all things. My doctor is thinking lymphoma so done blood tests and chest xray which came back fine. I am being sent to see a hematologist so just waiting for the appointment. Im guessing a biopsy is going to be the only answer to if it is or isn't lymphoma, i'm trying not to worry, hopefully it will all be fine.

My question is, the lymph nodes are slowly getting bigger every day, not by much but they seem to be growing. Is this somewhat normal? Or could this be a sign that it is somehow getting worse?

Sinusitis :: Having Bad Pain In Lymph Nodes (sternum & Armpit)

Does anyone else experience lymph node pains with their sinus problems? The weird and scary pain I have just experienced is pain under my sternum and under my armpit lymph nodes. Thick and I mean thick clear mucus in my left nostril only. Had an MRI on my neck. And head. Only problem it said was my left cheek was filled with mucus. I had a tooth extracted after a botched root canal treatment. In December 2015 My cheek swelled up real bad and I had to Go to the E.R. To have my gum lanced to rid me of the poison. That was 3 and a 1/2 months ago. My symptoms (mucus) have been getting worse. I called my doctor(gp) and he gave me 500 mg. amoxicillin. Relieved me of my symptoms and chest pain for one day. This a.m. The pain is back. But it comes and goes! I need some help with this please. The headaches and neck pains suck. I'm not living right now I'm just existing.

Enlarged Occipital Lymph Node And Headaches X6 Months.

I'm 36 year old female, have had headaches x6 months along with an enlarged lymph node at base of skull just above hairline (occipital I think it's called). MRI was normal, ultrasound revealed enlarged lymph node, neurologist wanted to treat as headaches and sent me to ENT to evaluate enlarged lymph node, routine blood work just revealed low b12 (taking supplements now). Vision is good, already had eye exam. Usually over the counter meds treat any pain I have and they haven't relieved headaches at all, neurologist tried migraine meds which haven't helped either. ENT Dr. seems to think the headaches are causing the enlarged lymph node and wants to treat headaches to see if lymph node goes down any, but I can't help but think the node is causing the headaches because when I press on node it makes headache worse. (I know THEIR the Dr. and spent years on schooling, etc and specialize in this stuff but doesn't make since to me) The node itself isn't sore to touch, just worsens headache. So far the new meds from ENT isn't helping either, and am told my node is just about nickel size and they don't biopsy it until half dollar size. I'm tired of going from dr to dr when I have to work and my insurance is about to end, I just want answers, so any help is greatly appreciated to steer me in the right direction.

Painful Bump On My Occipital Bone?

I have a painful and migraine inducing bump on the left side of my Occipital bone, located an inch away from my ear. It's extremely painful and I have noticed some mood swings and it's driving me insane. Lately I've been having bad back pain too. I just want to know what are the possibilities or potential issue. It's very very painful and sore. It almost feels like a cyst by its hardness. I also am having a little case of the cold on top of this.
