Hi all :D - just want to say how pleased I am that I found this forum! I suffer badly from HA and am often googling symptoms and jumping to stupid conculsions and this forum has really helped to stop my fears spiralling out of control.
Having said that I do have one question about neck glands....:unsure:
I have noticed a firm (but not hard or rock hard at all) lump at the base of my neck, a little up from where my neck meets my shoulders. It seems to follow a little chain towards the side of the neck. Now I know my glands and know that this is the lymph chain but I am concerned as I have no pain!!! I have suffered with this gold awful cold just before xmas and have a lingering cough that I can't 100% shift but apart from that am fine. I had a tingle in my wisdom tooth and wondered if it would be that as I suffer from that from time to time.
I am a little concerned about the obvious - Lymphoma / cancer of some sort.
A few years ago I noticed a bumpy chain down my neck at the side/back of my neck and one small bean sized one at the other side - went to the docs, he said it was nothing and that I should come back to him if the glands got bigger. They didn't, years have passed and I now fiddle with them as a bit of a comfort blanket. :D
These new glands seem the same texture and everything but I have not noticed them before. I noticed them just over a week ago and wondered if this is cause for concern.:weep:
