Lump in neck and lymph glands swollen in neck arm and groin

Hi I joined this group 3 years ago as my doctor sent me on two week referral it turned out that I had a salivary gland stone which was great news, however with covid and the back log I have been waiting to have the gland removed as the hospital couldn't remove through basket retrieval. I've had ongoing pain at the site numerous times and about two months ago I started to get really loud buzzing in my ear my doctor sent me for an ear test and in the meantime whilst waiting for this appointment my face and jaw was in so much pain I went to see my doctor again to be told to take anti inflammatory which would usually work with the tramadol but the pain was persistent so I was told to go the dentist have a check but all was ok so had ear test all ok, I went back to see my doctor and upon an examination of my neck he's now decided to put me through urgent referral again but this time it's different all my glands are up swollen with little kidney bean lumps all over neck and I've now found them in my groin to I have an appointment tomorrow but I'm so scared as to what the outcome will be. Any advice on lymph gland lumps please I just need some peace of mind xx jj

  • I'm sorry to hear what you've been contending with Jaqui. It sounds like you've had quite a tough time over the last couple of months but I hope your appointment went well yesterday and your mind has been put at ease.

    Hopefully you will receive some support and advice from our members soon but if there has been anything playing on your mind since yesterday you're very welcome to talk things through with one of our nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you Jaqui and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
