I'm always quick to reassure someone when they worry about gland pains so i guess i must be a hypocrite to right this.
I had glandular fever some centuries ago now but still get repurcussions from this. ie. tiredness, gland pains, lethargy etc..
The thing is that i'v been having this neck pain now for several days and it's constantly there, like a sharp stabbing pain in the glands under my ears/at the top of my jaw. Even the heated wheat bag isnt easing it much, although a hot bath does. I also feel run down and everyone at work keeps commenting on how tired i look. I hate it when people say i don't look well cos it makes me worry more thinking that i am showing physical signs of illness. My mouth is also very dry and i am sorry to say (dare i!) I GOOGLED!
I am now worrying that i have a salivary gland infection or even cancer. I am sooo worried and i darent even talk to my OH about it as he is off work with a really bad back and he is having loads of physio.
I did read that with cancer there is no gland pain but maybe i got this wrong or mis read it. Please can someone tell me if they get these pains. I also have under active thyroid so am thinking that it could be thyroid or larynx cancer. my voice is also changing and sounds weak as if it is going to go at any minute. I am rambling now, so i will stop here. Please help!
