Before I start, I am in the early stages of CBT and I am really trying to calm down and relax about my health. I'm just really struggling today.
I have a fixation on my left breast and have done for about 12 years (I'm 30.) The CBT recently has helped me see the wood from the trees and I have pretty much decided that my left breast is actually fine and normal.
However, last week, I noticed a small hard (grain of rice size) lump in my supra clavicle area on the left side. Sometimes I check and it's not there, but in the last 12 hours when I've checked it is always there. It has sent me in a tail spin and I'm going back where I started before the CBT.
In the past few weeks I had my ears pierced and they got infected, I also have toothache on the left side and I had a bit of left side back pain when breathing like an infection that passed. Could this lymph node be from an infection?
I went to the Doctor last year about a left side lymph node in the same place and she said it wasn't there. I guess I'm just spiralling a bit and I'm not sure what is a real threat or not.
