Hi, I went for a lump checking in my neck 3 weeks ago. It is on the left side and above my collar bone. You can not see it but I can feel it straight away without pressing down and it is a lot bigger then a normal lymph node. Noticed around 6 months ago.
Anyways GP felt around my neck and sent me for a blood test. The blood test came back clear. I mentioned at the appointment that I was also having other things happening on my left side. I have sharp stabbing pains in my ribs every night when I lay on that side and my calf is constantly aching when I rest, it's a very dull full feeling but goes away when I stand. She said it all could be connected but did not send me for any further tests.
Over the last week my neck has become achy and throbs where the lump is quite similar to the pain in my calf. I have also noticed another lump at the back of my neck and I am now becoming really anxious. I am never ill, do not have infections or ever have too take pain killers so this just not feel right too me. I can not get another GP appointment until 22nd of August. Anyone got any advice on how to push for further tests/scans? Even if it's nothing sinister their must be an explanation of all these aches/pains and lumps. All the advice just says the big C and it's freaking me out.
Thanks.
