Hi,

Whereabouts on your neck?

My advice would be to avoid the internet. I personally only use the NHS and Cancer Research UK website for information and guidance. 

My dentist found a lump to the right side of my adams apple, approx 1cm long. It's hard and moves when touched and is soar when I have an infection i.e cold. Cut a long story short I was advised to visit my GP, GP was unsure if it's a lymph node or something else e,g cyst. I was referred to the radiology department. The GP also took a full blood count which I think is common practice with a thyroid/ neck check. Full blood count came back normal.

Visited the radiologist performed an ultrascan. Fortunately she advised me it's a lymph node and suggested no further action required. I struggle with anxiety so I wanted a scond opinion, uncle is a heart surgeon who had a look at the report and scans and agreed with the radiologist.

I find when it comes to this time of year when  the weather is cold and infections are common my lymph nodes are generally raised. We recently took my 2 year old son to the GP as he has a large lump on the back of his neck, however GP was confident it's a raised lymph node and suggested no further action required. 

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hi matt

It's near my Adams apple on my left side and the other is near the top of my jawline, I have been having really bad anxiety lately and obviously any lumps found are worth checking, only thing if it is lymph nodes I haven't had a cold or anything recently. Cheers for replying dude I have an appointment this month so I'll know soon. Cheers
