What else could hard lymph nodes be?

Offline sdwright2015 16 days ago

Recently noticed what feels like two small hard lymph nodes in my neck.

My IBD doctor has just said they don’t think it would be related to my Crohn’s Disease or the immunosuppressant medicine I’m on for it (Skyrizi).

My only other guess from researching could be psoriasis as I’ve been picking at my scalp for a while, but not sure.

Naturally I’m scared it’s lymphoma.

I contacted my GP last Thursday and they still haven’t got back to me yet. I know I’m going to need an ultrasound but it’s such a pain waiting when I can tell somethings wrong.

Has anyone been in a similar situation that turned out not to be lymphoma?

I'm sorry about the two small lymph nodes you've noticed on your neck sdwright2015, and for the worry they are causing.

I hope you hear back from your GP soon but in the meantime, I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting will help to steady your nerves whilst you wait.

Many of our members have also contended with lymph nodes, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to share their experiences and advice.

We're sending you all our support sdwright02015, and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

Kind regards,
