Swollen neck lymph nodes

Hi,

for 2 months now I’ve had 2 pea sized swollen lymph nodes noted by gp. They haven’t grown but have remained palpable and slightly enlarged. Waiting on ultrasound referral. Anyone had anything similar? I struggle with health anxiety a lot so wait is very difficult

  • Hi,

    I went to the GP with 3 enlarged lymph nodes in my groin and 1 in my neck. I was then given blood test and referred for an ultra sound. My blood came back normal and ultra sound showed nothing sinister about the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are still there and haven't got any bigger. I was told by my GP and doctor that performed the ultrasound they may take a while to go down or may never go down. I understand the waiting is can cause anxiety (I was in your position just months ago). I hope your ultrasound appointment comes soon and your results show nothing bad.
