Hi Everyone :D,
A few years ago I had a bout of really bad health anxiety and a couple of lymph nodes on my neck and collar bone swelled up. I had an operation to have one out after a few months of it being swollen. It came back all clear.... I kind of forgot about them but have had a recent bout of health anxiety and the same lymph nodes in my neck have raised their ugly heads again! They have been swollen for around 3 weeks now. They ache sometimes but aren't really painful.
My question is, has anyone else experienced swollen lymph nodes due to anxiety? I have read up a bit and there is no actual medical link, but many people believe their lymph nodes to be swollen. Mind are definitely swollen, and were before too, or else the hospital wouldn't have operated and taken one out!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you :yesyes:
