Swollen neck/lump

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has been through the same. 

I noticed a couple of weeks ago I had a lump/swelling on the right side of my neck just over from the front.

I went to the doctors and he said it looked fine and he's not worried, it seems to have came out of nowhere.

Hes referred me for a routine ultrasound and I've been told it could take up to 6 weeks to be seen .

I cant help but worry about it.

Thanks for reading

  • Hello, have they mentioned what it could be at all? Have you had any other symptoms like feeling tired? Speaking from experience, I think it's really important that you get this looked at sooner. If you can afford it, it might be an idea to get a scan completed privately if the wait time is shorter. Then even if it is benign, at least your mind will have been put at ease sooner. 

  • Hi! No he didn't say anything apart from he isn't worried about it, which wasn't very reassuring. Didn't mention anything it could be, he said he thinks it could just be my muscle!, I havent done anything strenuous!.

    I have no pain in my neck just a dull ache, and if my head is down for a little while my neck has a full/ tight feeling

    Yeahai find I'm a little more tired than usual.

    Thanks for replying to me! 

    I'm going to ring the doctors tommorow and try to speak to another doctor, hoping for some more reassurance.

     

  • Hello,how are you doing? Did you manage to speak to the doctors again?
