This site has been my lifeline for aaaages during bad spells :-) so ty for that! But I finally joined this evening!! :blush:
So to the point.
2 days ago, I woke with a sore neck, felt throbbing in my 'pulse area' left side of my neck. The pain radiated down a bit and into my ear just a bit... but mostly just in that spot, where my pulse is strong. So it got a bit worse yesterday, i controlled it with ibuprophen. Then this morning i couldnt turn my head easily. So i finally decided to go see the practice nurse. Who i have a lot of faith in BTW.
So she felt my neck and told me I have swollen glands, took blood and told me to come back in 3 weeks to check if the swelling was down. I have no other symptoms, no illness for it to be a symptom of.
This came out of no where, just arrived on tuesday morning.
So then I came home and checked Google :-(
Now Im scared :weep:
Incidentally, i did walk 3 miles with a shopping bag on my left shoulder on monday evening (the night before the pain started)... but who heard of neck strain causing swollen lymph nodes right? and my shoulder is fine... its just that one sore spot. I didnt mention this to the nurse as I had forgotten until tonight.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

How come everyone is talking about lymph nodes all of a sudden?? I hadn't read any of these, I hadn't considered lymph nodes til I saw my nurse this afternoon! Wow... It's a common thing huh?
