Collar bone swelling

Hi looking if anyone had anything similar? And any advice? 

3rd of October partner noticed a small rash right side of collar bone with swelling, phoned 111 advised hospital, very brief examination and told I had slept awkward, I have anxiety and hate confrontation so didn't want to argue, it got worse over weekend rash went but swelling got worse and developed swelling under right arm pit and side of neck went to gp who examined me and gave antibiotics for 1 week, it just got worse, developed a swelling on back of neck and behind right ear, felt like my neck was going to snap went to hosp and didn't do any tests or anything nd gave me another course of antibiotics, gp has also refered me for scan of neck abdo and breast clinic, since then I've had pain in most places on my body and since yesterday  my moles on my back and right shoulder ae burning and raised and painful to touch, I'm concerned as I've dropped 5 dress sizes in the past 8 months unintentionally and am constantly drained.my crp is slightly raised but all other bloods are fine. Don't feel like I'm getting much sense from hospital or gp and just wanted to know if anyone could advise what type of specialist is best to go to so I could try to get a private appointment?

Thank you 

Emma

  • Hi Emma and welcome to the forum.

    It must be very frustrating when you feel like you're not getting anywhere but fingers crossed the referrals your GP has made will be able to give you some answers.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon (apologies you haven't heard back from anyone yet but sometimes when the forum gets busy posts can be missed) but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
