Enlarged groin lymph nodes and inflammation markers!

Hi everyone. 

Iv been reading through this post for the last 24 hours. 

I'm 31 currently been feeling unwell, on and off for months. 

Had many tests, inflammation markers are always higher than should be but apparantly not too concerning. I'm currently waiting on lost tests results for lupus.

Iv been having all sorts of aches and pains saw a physio and was told by her that she thinks I possible have something going on with hips as for my age my resistance is awful however because of my age gp was dismissive of this but agreed I could have a hip xray.

A few weeks ago I had painful lymph nodes under chin and in neck but couldn't really feel anything. I then had a lump in arm pit which has slowly gone down but a have lots of lymph nodes I can feel in both sides of groin now I'm worried that it's all something more sinister and I should of spotted this earlier.

Groin lymph nodes have been present for a few weeks now. I have a call back fr doctor on Thursday.

I have health anxiety and when I get really stressed I do find it hard to function. We're literally just before Christmas and I want to be able to enjoy it.

Sorry for the ramble. 

  • Hi Lmjn,

    I'm sorry to hear of your worries. It's good to hear you have a call with the doctor today. Try to make the most of this so you can get some reassurance or next steps, so you can then enjoy the next few days.

    Make a note of what you want to discuss, and any questions you have. Talk through any concerns and any changes you have noticed since you last spoke to a doctor, and make sure you get any answers you need.

    I hope it goes well today. Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi Ben. 

    Thanks for you're reply. 

    Iv spoken to doctor and my further tests for immune disorders has come back positive and further testing on the blood work is on-going but due to symptoms it is likely to be lupus which explains enlarged lymph nodes so she wasn't overly concerned due to all other blood counts being good.

    However I am seeing her face to face in 2 weeks and can call anytime in between if I have any concerns.

    Regards
