Hello
I have swollen painless lymph nodes in my groin, armpits and neck area. The ones in my neck are very small and the armpit ones are small and grainy. The ones in my groin are slightly larger but they can all be moved and are not firm but not soft either.
I have had these swollen lymph nodes for about 10 weeks now, i am becoming rely worried and have been searching the internet (like a fool) for answers. I have course come across lymphoma which is making my anxiety levels hit the roof. I have no other symptoms and have been to the doctors twice and have had bloods done twice, both coming back normal. The doctor did not seem to concerned but i seem to keep finding new little ones in my neck, im not sure if this is because i am constantly prodding around purposely looking for a problem or not. I do not seem to have any known infections that i am aware of. I was put on antibiotics however i am in day 5 of the cycle and nothing seems to have changed. I have already made another appointment to see my gp again as i am getting increasingly worried.
Another thing is that i started an anabolic steroid cycle 3 weeks prior to these lumps popping up. The first one appeared in my groin after a gym session and was rather tender but since then has not been painful. I continued with the cycle until 2 weeks ago where i stopped as my anxiety was getting far worse and i thought this could be a potential course. However my lymph nodes 2 weeks later are still as they was.
Before when being on a anabolic steroid cycle i also had a lymph node enlarge near my armpit however this went away, this time they have all stayed and seem to be increasing in numbers.
I also have a under-active thyroid condition which i am not sure could be causing this...
When i go back to my doctors i am going to push for a biopsy or ultrasound as i am having sleepless nights now and making my self ill with worry. If it is lymphoma i cant help but think i caused this myself by suppressing my immune system as i have read this increases your chances of getting lymphoma.
Anyways thanks for listening and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or has been in a similar situation.
