Multiple lymph nodes in neck

Hi 

just wondering if anyone has been through or is currently going through this, I have about 4 enlarged lymph nodes in my neck that I know of , from what I can feel the one on the left side of my neck Beneath my ear is around 2cm firm but not rock hard and not moveable , I have 2 pea sized moveable ones and one grape size moveable one . I have had them that I know of around about 2 years with no change is size, I went to the doctors a couple of months ago and she said it was because of my acne (which I have had untreated for 5 years) so she changed my pill and that has really cleared up my acne but the lymph nodes still persist with no change? I am going back to the doctors tomorrow as they are worrying and if you couldn't already tell I have severe health anxiety , is it true that lymph nodes can just stay permanently enlarged after infection ps. I have had no weight loss, night sweats or anything just a little tiredness as I have been iron deficient , overalls feel fine apart from this anxiety taking over my life

I would really appreciate and comments thank you xx

  • Hello,

     

    Sorry that you’re going through this worry at the moment. I am currently going through the exact same. I have 8 lymph nodes that I can feel, 3 on the base of the back of my neck have defiantly been there for about 2 years. Recently found more above my collar bone and sides of neck and behind ear. All pea sized, soft and very moveable. I haven’t been ill recently which sparked my worry.

     

    I went to the doctors on Wednesday who felt them all, had to point him to some as he couldn’t feel them but found them eventually. Said it was unlikely anything sinister but referred me to have an ultrasound so I’m waiting for an appointment to come through. He didn’t tell me if it was going through as urgent.

     

    my anxiety is also through the roof I have no other symptoms apart from being tired but I have a one and half year old and I am also 10 weeks pregnant. I feel so worried about all of this and can only think the worse all information I can find points to cancer. 

     

    how did you get on at the doctors?

    i hope you both can find answers for your swollen lymph nodes, I am in somewhat a similar situation, one enlarged submandibular and one cervical lymph node that is rock hard ( both on right side of neck)not sure if it moves or is the muscle that moved when I press it? I’ve had them for ten months now and my anxiety is also through the roof it actually takes over my life right now as I’m so scared something is very wrong! I also have developed a strange bony lump on my foot and recently hip pain..I do have a chronic swollen right eye with eyelash loss and fear it’s something from my eye????I have another appointment with my eye dr this week.Goodluck with your ultrasound appointment I hope you can find some answers.

    best of luck
