Hello there, 

I’ve been experiencing similar symptoms like a lump on the left side of my neck around the middle, neck pain and ear pain as well and sometimes my jaw will hurt too.

I’ve also been experiencing some dizziness, headaches and weakness in my arms and legs and always feel tired, I get tingling and pain in my shoulder/arms too. I’m not sure if it’s connected but I also get quite bad joint pain all over my body (ankles, fingers, wrists).

I’ve not been to the doctors yet because I currently go to university but I’m away from home for another 3 weeks! I’m not sure what to do and I’m scared it could be something serious. I do tend to get quite anxious about these things and google has been no help as cancer keeps popping up.

I’m only 19 and funnily enough im a medical student as well, this has really impacted my studies as I can’t seem to focus on anything else. It’s nice to know there are people in the same boat and such a huge support platform.

hiya,

try to get to the drs and get it checked out. Do not google! I made that mistake and my stress and anxiety went through the roof and made my symptoms worse.

i had my ultrasound on my throat today and they found nothing but the sonographer did say my lymph nodes in my neck are prominent so now to wait another week for the full results/report  

Now to wait for another scope on the 18th April and see if that brings anything up. I am also waiting for an appt for a biopsy which seems to be taking a lifetime to come through.

hope you get some answers soon 

Did you get your results? Hope your well. I am having the same sort of symptoms. Sore throat just on the left the feeling of something stuck in my throat 1 swollen lymph node for 12m that's been scanned once but the repeat scan they requested didn't happen because of covid and a really horrible earchache in the left ear. im currently on a 7 day antibiotic and if nothing helps then it will be a refurral to ent.

Hi all,

reading through all of your posts I felt I had to join conversation.

my husband is having similar symptoms as it all started about 6 weeks ago he had a sore throat which came on during a cold in February this year. His symptoms were really bad throat pain like a blister ear pain and all on the side of his head and neck, swollen throat and wanting too clear it all of the time too.He went to the doctors and had a telephone consultation with the doctor who gave him antibiotics and told to gargle with aspirin. Week later no change so called the doctor again, another call back with the nurse who gave him more antibiotics and the same the next week. The forth week I called and said he needed to see a doctor as covid 19 is around the doctors don't want to see him. Finally doctor called and got him in the same day for blood tests and referral to ent clinic asap. So consultant called the same day and my husband had an endoscopy on Monday but pain was so severe for him he now is waiting for a general anaesthetic for a closer look and a biopsy, as a white nodule shaped like a kidney bean as my husband describes it was seen. The consultant wasn't sure what it was so that's why he is going in for this. I have called the doctor today for pain relief as my husband can only eat soup or spaghetti and even water hurts, sleep is only for a few hours at a time for both of us. Blood results apparently were good no signs of cancer but can't rule this out as the consultant said. I am so anxious and understand all of your posts as people think you've just got a sore throat. I just want someone to give us answers and I know this will come in time, hope you all get answers soon too and I will update on my husband's diagnosis when I have answers.

take care

Hi

Just wondered if the antibiotics helped or if you got an ENT appointment?  I've had a 3.5cm lymph node in my neck for 7 weeks and now for the past 2 weeks have a lump on my tonsil, tonsil itself doesnt look swollen.  I have the ear pain, some jaw pain, throat not particularly painful but constantly clearing it, like a post nasal drip.  I have an appointment for a biopsy on 21 May, so fingers crossed.
