Neck and armpit lumps

Hello, first time posting on a forum 

about a year ago I went to A&E for a dislocated shoulder and he found a lump above my collar bone which he insisted I get looked at by my gp, he even wrote to my gp. My gp sent me for a scan and that was the end of it really. However a few months ago I noticed I had about 4 lumps on my neck 2 on each side so I saw a different dr who said the previous scan was for my joint and not the lump. Long story short I've had bloods come back with a positive ANA which drs saying could be an autoimmune thing? Also my blood is taking longer to clot than it should. In the last few weeks I've noticed a bigger lump under my arm pit. I keep getting awful night sweats, headaches, a slightly raised temp and blood rashes. I'm 23 and I have ADHD so I need to know everything right now kinda thing. Really anxious and stressing over this waiting. I've got an appointment for a scan but just wanted to see if anyone else has been through anything like this?? Thank you!

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some health concerns over the past year. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious and I think most of our members here will know how difficult the period of waiting for appointments and tests can be. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your scan but if you'd like to chat to one of our nurses about your concerns then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).

  • Hiii, 

     

    I was just wondering if you ever got a answer to what was wrong?

     

    About 3 weeks ago i discovered a lump on my neck. Have had multiple telephone appointments and finally got a face to face today and she discovered a few lumps in left side of my neck. She said they were small and under 1cm and to come back in 6 weeks. I have sereve health anxiety as my 6 year old sons dad died 7 weeks ago and currently 20 weeks pregnant. 

     

    I was asked if i had anymore lumps in my armpit and groin which i said no to then come home and checked throughly and found one in my right armpit ( i dont know if this is a spot then soon white puss will come out) 

     

    She said it was good that i didn't have any B symptoms but i cant say i havent lost weight. At my pregnancy booking scan in october i weighed 83kg and now at 21 weeks pregnant i weigh 81? 

     

    Thank you
