I'd really appreciate if anyone could share their experiences with me. 

Mid January I noticed a rubbery lump on left side of my neck, just above collarbone. Mentioned it to my chiropractor and she thought it was a knot in a muscle, however GP disagreed when I saw him at end of January. He said it was a lymph node and that I had a few that were up and said he'd refer me to ENT for an ultrasound. He said my full blood count in September was fine and in his experience something sinister would always show in the bloods and advised me not to worry. (I feel September was quite a while ago!)

Since then my armpit aches on and off and although I can't feel any lumps, I think it's slightly swollen. I have now developed a feeling of fullness in my left ear (I'm profoundly deaf in that ear since birth). It doesn't secrete any wax and doesn't "pop". I saw the nurse last week who said there is no wax and the eardrum looks ok. She gave me Ear Calm spray for a week but that hasn't done anything. She phoned me this morning to ask how I am and I've told her how worried I am and that there is no change so she's booked me in to see GP tomorrow evening. She also said I could wait for months for the ultrasound. I feel like the nodes in my neck are bigger now too, they feel more elongated than round and aren't fixed. I also have a neuralgia type pain in my upper back near the armpit. 

I've read so many positive stories on here and have tried to keep busy and stay away from Google but I can't help but feel that something untoward is going on. I don't have any other symptoms like night sweats, weight loss, cough etc. I had my 3rd covid booster (Moderna) in my left arm at the end of November. 

I know that no one here can diagnose me but I just hoped that there might be someone who has had similar symptoms and can maybe share their experience. As so many others have said, the waiting and wondering is excruciating. 

Thanks for reading to the end, if you did.
