Hi all.
I’m new here, but just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. A few months ago I noticed a couple swollen spots on the back of my neck, right below the bottom of my skull. I was feeling a little under the weather, so I went to see my doc.
She told me that she thought I actually had an ear infection. Gave me antibiotics. Over time, the spots on the back of my neck (2 of them) got considerably smaller - But they never went away fully. I’ve seen 2 different doctors and asked if they were anything I needed to be worried about. Both of them said it’s nothing concerning.. And honestly couldn’t really even feel them. Maybe I’m hyper sensitive to them. Not sure. To me it’s obvious that they’re there but my husband can hardly feel them either. They’re only on one side as well.
I am diagnosed OCD and I do a very good job at coping, but this is one of those things that makes it flare up BIG TIME. I’m a new mom with a 10 month old so I think health anxiety is extra hard on me right now because I’m so maternal. :hugs:
Long story short, just wondering if anyone has experienced anything realitivly similiar?
I’m ready to quit worrying about this if at all possible.. Anxiety issues suck!
