Hi sam 

Hope you don't mind me asking , did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm in exactly the same situation and very anxious thanks 

I have an mri for thriat issues next week!! 
 

hope you are doing ok x

Hi Becks, 

have you had your mri scan results yet ? Hope all is well xx

Hi Becks, 

have you had your mri scan results yet ? Hope all is well xx

Hey Winnie!!

no I haven't, I'm terrified. They have booked me a face to face appointment on the 18th! How are you getting on!? Xxx

Hi Becks , 

well I'm a bit confused as to what's happening as the ent secretary rang me to say that the MRI scan came back as normal but they still want to see me when the face to face appointments start - whenever that may be . I'm still panicking that something is wrong as why would they want to see me if all is ok? My husband said they see you after anyway to explain the scan in detail and to maybe suggest other tests to investigate my symptoms  ...so that could be what your appointment is for too. Did your appointment come through the post ? I rang the secretary and left a message and she rang me back xxx

That's great news!! So happy for you! What are you symptoms again? They probably just want to get to the bottom of them. Mergh. Ive not heard anything about my results for the MRI but got an email saying that my follow up apppintment will no longer be telephone but face to face and that's in two weeks - I'm quite scared but what can I do. Took my son doctors today for his lymph node they aren't worried but said being him back in four weeks :/ xxx

How did you find the contrast? Xx

They said mine won't be telephone either , I think it's because face to face starts soon and they need to physically check / feel / look at you . 
the contrast was absolutely fine , no effects from it whatsoever.

i have one swollen / bigger tonsil compared to the other side , ear pain and a cyst type thing in my throat but they say that's mucous ?? I did have neck pain but that has eased now . 
glad your son is ok , one less thing for you to worry over. It's so hard waiting isn't it xxx

[@Winnie14]‍  yeah deffo! Although he said to see him in 4 weeks to make sure it's gone away but my gut tells me it probably won't because mine are still here! OoOoo my tonsils are like that but the doctor suspects a cysts I forgot the name on one of my tonsils rather than in my mouth! I have the ear pain I guess same symptoms only I can feel heaps of lymph nodes too in various places glad you found it all okay, how long did it last? Mine was about 25 minutes without contrast! Nervous it won't pick up anything bad because I didn't use the contrast so I'm kind of glad they are seeing me face to face so they can feel them and know I'm not going mad xxx

Yeah I can feel something in my tonsil all the time , maybe a stone? Not sure if the mri would have picked that up. 
I was in the scanner around  30 mins max - went in without contrast then half way through they slid me out and injected the contrast then slid me back in ... didn't feel anything from it at all . 
do you feel ok in yourself? Xxx

Oh that's interesting I wonder why they did no contrast to start with! We agreed we would start without and see how it goes and it was agreed they didn't need it but wish I had lol! Ahh yeah that's fab! I have tonsil stone they don't worry me but the ugly blister looking thing does haha!!

yeah honestly I feel fine, I get a sore throat and ear pain but that's it no night sweats weight loss etc so it's odd really. I'm mostly worried about lymphoma I think, especially because of coronavirus! But time will tell! How are you feeling? Xxx

I think it's standard to put in half way through to see the changes the dye makes? I'm not sure to be honest . 
what does your tonsil blister look like? My tonsils are very lumpy and holey. 
glad you feel ok , I'm about the same ... earache that comes and goes and pain down the neck under the ear and just feel a bit tired but I'm not sleeping too well with all the worry . let me know how your appointment goes , will be thinking of you and hoping for all the best xxx
 

Hi, 

I'm in the same position as you all! Tonsil stones started appearing in one tonsil about 4 months ago. Misdiagnosed over the phone over lock down as tonsillitis, but didn't help the pain. It was since noted on a face to face appt that my opposite tonsil to the troublesome stone filled one, is enlarged and I now gey a lot of pain in here with ear pain and neck pain. After seeing ENT last week they have said one of my lymph glands is slightly raised and its definitely enlarged and hard?! I'm being sent for MRI at the weekend and I just wondered how you had all gotten on since you last posted please? I'm terrified!
