Hiya,

The problem with ESR is that it isnt specific for any type of condition it is a marker of inflmmation. So it could be coming from anywhere. My inflmmation markers are up and down and have been for over a year now. My last ESR test came back at 17 and got referred to haematology but was cleared from them and it was eventually put down to my severe ibs and iluitis (inflmmation of part of the small bowel.). I know its hard when worrying about possibilities. I also have swollen lymph nodes at the moment which ive hard more bloods taken for. I hope you get answers soon x feel free to message if you need too :) 

Hi sammyg2010,

Thanks for your reply! That is good to know, I guess I just wonder where mine would be coming from as the doctors don't seem to want to take further action. It's nice to know I'm not alone, I hope you get answers too! Keep me updated on how your bloods go. How long have your nodes been up for and where abouts? 
Thankyou :) 

So i had a lymph node come up for around 6 weeks end of last year in my armpit. Then about a month ago i felt a pea like lump in my neck below my chin. Then a couple of weeks ago i felt a lump on my jawline/just belowe jaw line. And i keep feeling like my throat is swollen and get discomfort when eating and drinking. I also have had a persistent low grade fever since janurary ‍♀️ the doctors are not the wiser at the moment. 

I hope you get some answers soon! Have your lymph nodes gone away in your armpit? That would be promising at least. Hopefully there is a benign explanation to what you have been experiencing
