Hi, I have a lump on the right side of my neck closer to the top and back, I didn't notice it untill my mum pointed it out when she seen it protruding out my skin. Within a few weeks I was getting a few symptoms, such as awful night sweats 2-3 times a week (to the point I was waking up and my bed sheets were soaking and my hair was dripping wet), constantly fatigued and no energy, was eating a lot and actually loosing weight (around a stone), neck spasms that would burn for 10 mins afterwards, and a achey neck on the side of the lump. After these I made an appointment with my gp who referred me to the hospital for an ultrasound. The dr at the hospital felt the lump and said it isn't a cyst as it can't be moved around, and it was a growth that was growing in my trapezius muscle. He proceeded with the ultrasound and said it was a swollen lymph node and that he isn't worried and he will send my scans over to the gp and nothing else would be done further unless it caused me hassle. Anyways, around 6 weeks after this, I got a letter through the door saying I was getting referred for more tests such as another ultrasound, bloods, urine test and electrolyte tests and that a date would be sent out soon on when to attend. This was around 4 month ago and I've heard nothing and im still waiting on a date. The symptoms are getting worse and the waiting around is making me anxious - does this sound like something to worry about as I don't think a lymph node would cause all of this?
