Not diagnosed

Hi i have been suffering really bad joint pain fatigue really bad night sweats have a rash on legs my body is so itchy even my head places where I have no rash. See gp blood test all fine chest xray fine. He said something is going on so referred me to the vague symptoms clinic he said they will do scan and other tests. Since I have seen my gp I have a painful shoulder tender area in my breast and swollen lymph node under arm it is quite deep on left side. My symptoms suggest lymphoma but I am over reacting as surely my blood tests would have picked it up. 

  • Hello September19

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing health problems and that, to date, no cause has been identified. We know that this period of waiting and uncertainty can be very difficult for many people but it sounds as if your GP is being supportive in getting tests and referrals arranged. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer for some answers. 

    You mention in your post that you have had some news breast symptoms since last seeing your GP. Please do let them know about these symptoms as they may wish to refer you to your local breast clinic for investigation as well. The majority of people seen in breast clinics are not diagnosed with cancer but it's important to get these things checked. 

    I do hope that you have some news before too long and things improve for you.  

    Best wishes,
