What was the outcome here. I am experiencing something similar. Thanks

Hi!  Fortunately all my blood tests came back clear (apart from having slightly low potassium. The large gland went down and I felt better so I think I had some kind of infection. I do still have the small gland up (it hasn't changed size) but I don't think that's unusual plus given my bloods being ok I'm not too worried. Hope your outcome is good. Have you spoken to your doctor?

Thank you for responding so quickly and glad to hear everything is good for you. I saw dr yesterday and theybordered bloodwork. Just got results today and everything that has come back so far on the online portal looks fairly normal. I had hoped White Blood Cell count was elevated to show some kind of infection. My red blook cell count is at the top of the UK normal range, and so is Hemoglobin and Hematocrat. I am based in the US but I am from the UK - so that's why i can see results online so quicky.

I just noticed you had said yours was painful. Mine is not painful.

Interesting - I'm in the UK and didn't know I could get my results online! Yes the larger lymph node did hurt but the small one doesn't. I had an operation 18 mtgs ago and they checked my blood count and it was really high. Is that a bad thing? 

I am in the US that's why i can view online. Originally from the UK. If WBC is high it suggests your body is fighting some kind of infection.
