Hopefully someone will read through this and give me some input. So about a couple months ago I started experiencing health anxiety
When I went to the doctor and my rbc count was barely elevated and I also had elevated protein. The doctor assured me I was fine but me having anxiety I was convinced I was going to have cancer. Fast forward a month later and i finally convinced myself I was ok. Then I had a very bad swelling in my groin area, my
Lymph nodes became very tender down there. After googling I got worried about Hodgkins and started feeling all over my neck for lumps. I remember the first time I felt around I didn’t feel a thing. Then I felt one lump on my neck that was barely there and before long I was digging in my neck trying to find lymph nodes and made some of them swell. Then I found a lymph node behind my ear. I never touched this one. I went to the doctor and she noticed I had lost 10
Lb since the last time I came (2 months) ago and asked if I was dieting . I told her no. However I had severe anxiety and I think this was why I was losing weight. I wasn’t eating as much either. She refers me to oncology for that and swollen lymph nodes! The oncologist said I need a biopsy or CT. So I go for biopsy and they are going to excise a 3 cm lymph node form groin. However the lymph node shrunk down to normal size so that has been cancelled. My concern is that I have a pea sized lymph node one inch above my right collarbone.
I brought this to the gen surgeons attention and she said she was not worried about it. She did not feel the need to biopsy it. Now I’ve been messing with that area SO much the lymph node is very noticeable now when I go to touch it and it seems wiTh all the poking I have made another one come up right beside it. They have to be lymph nodes.. they feel like peas. I think my next step is to get CT scan. I wonder if I have poked so much i have irritated normal
Lymph nodes to swell up a lot? When I originally felt around I don’t remember feeling the supraclavicular one but I’ve rubbed it for days and now I have another one popping up and I am scared! I’m only 25.
I’ve had no loss of energy, sweats, itching or anything else.
