I am in panic mode.
I have had a sore neck on a off for a few months. I saw a gp about 4 weeks ago as by this time I had started pressing into my neck for the first time ever and foud lynph nodes. At this point I had a nasty sort of flu virus. She said they were not even swollen and she would never mention them to someone who came to her. She said it was because I had been looking for them and that they were defo under 1cm. Anyway I left them alone and I think they have gone down a bit but if I dig in I can still feel them.
Anyway the neck ache has persisted (although it's not there all the time and is not something I take pain meds for) and I took to looking about and now I feel near the back of my neck another two tiny bumps. I think they are lymph nodes but again I need to flex my neck so the muscle is sticking out and then I feel them.
So my worry is that these nodes are growing and pressing on tissues and that whys my neck is sore? I'm so worried.
I have also seen an ENT twice (about an ear issue) but he has examined my neck 3 months ago and then again last week and both times he has said he cannot feel anything?!?? He also put a camera into my nose and throat and said all healthy.
I'm terrified to ask for an ultrasound and I know it's going to be bad news as why can I only feel them more on the right side and the on off neck ache??
