Hi guys,

So about 4 months ago I started getting an uncomfortable feeling in the right side of my neck, but nothing major; I thought it was the way I've been sitting so didn't think much of it. The pain gradually got worse, with tingling on that side of the neck and a little in the face, so went to my GP and he said its nothing to worry about. 

There's some small swollen lymphs, but also, in the middle of the side of my right neck, theres like slightly raised tissue which feels odd. I went back the gp and she sent me to ENT urgently. The ENT doc felt my neck and did a camera up my nose and said she's removing me off the urgent list, and that she thinks its reactive. I did mention the raised tissue but she didn't comment. There was an ultrasound in the room but she felt I didn't need it.

It's been gradually getting worse and it now feels like an a constant ache which sometimes increases in intensity.  Also feels like a pressure in the side of my neck all the time, and in the ear on that side. Likewise, I am getting some pain in the lymphs along the jaw line underneath the jaw. Sometimes, the pain is also in my collar area and slightly in the shoulder. 

I've seen 4 different doctors 6 times and they all say its nothing to worry about, but I am freaking out big time. In anycase, i finally got my MRI appointment in a few weeks and I'm dreading it.

All routine bloods normal. LDH blood test normal and a recent blood smear was normal.

Anyone had anything similar?

Thanks in advance
