After getting my MRI and blood tests back all normal last week I felt fantastic. Had no back ache, pelvic pain or anything else odd going on until yesterday. In fact I was going to post that anxiety must have been mostly to blame for everything I'd been feeling up to last week. But unfortunately as of yesterday the lower back ache is back, low pelvic pain is really bad and I've also noticed (after successfully not prodding around for days) that I can feel a couple of lymph nodes on my left side of neck just above collarbone.
If anyone else has googled about lymph nodes in this location they'll know how scary it is - the general consensus is that you shouldn't be able to feel them at all in this spot, otherwise it's something sinister. They only feel small, about 0.5cm and move around a bit and I think they came up when I was having abdominal issues earlier this year. I have lost some weight and am quite thin across the shoulders and neck area.
Can anyone else feel their nodes in this area, or has had this issue before and it not been anything bad?
Also the pelvic and back ache has got me scared as well, as I'm worried it could be something outside of the view of the ultrasounds that I had back in April. Again, thanks to googling (I never learn!), it sounds like there could be some types of tumours which grow in behind your pelvic and abdominal area, and therefore wouldn't show on an ultrasound.
I've now had whole lot of bloods, MRI of spine (which apparently wouldn't pick up anything outside of that specific area), and chest x-ray within last month, as well as pelvic and abdominal ultrasounds in April and a kidney CT scan in May. I want to believe that there couldn't possibly be anywhere else to look.
Just so annoyed as I felt great for a few days and was so good to feel normal again!
