Hi everyone,
I am awaiting blood test results that were taken on Wednesday. I just wanted to get a general feel of time frames for hearing from your own GPs/getting results.
I've had a large lump on my neck for a while now, suspected its a swollen lymph node (its pretty large I haven't tried to move it around as I get a bit squeemish touching it.. I know!)
Around 2 weeks ago I suddenly started to experience severe pain in my left knee, which then by the next day had spread to both knees, and then the right elbow. The pain is still here, but has moved to ankles and shins. When it flares up I am unable to walk properly, and getting up and down the stairs is extremely difficulty. I am a previously active 27 year old with no other health conditions or injuries. I have been having fevers, and just generally feeling very tired and unwell.
Did anyone else have symptoms that sound like this? How long did it take to get referred for more tests or to hear from the GP?
For context, I am particuarly anxious about these symptoms as my mother passed away due to leukemia and it presented as symptoms similar to these.
Thanks in advance,
Yas
