lymph node lump in neck anxious

nnnn
Offline

hi all,

ive had a hard non movable lymph node size of a pea up inside my neck left side for a few months and thought nothing of it because it wasnt painful. however recently visited the gp who has taken bloods and requested a ultrasound. so now im extreamily anxious especially after search on google.

please can I ask: 

can lymph node's  sometimes just be like this for no reason (enlarged/hard/non movable) but still alright?

 

thanks

  • Hello nnnn and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry for the worry this is causing but it's good to hear your GP is being thorough and making sure there is no cause for concern.

    The NHS have some useful information about swollen glands and lymph nodes on their website but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our nurses about this you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope the results of your ultrasound and blood tests bring good news when the time comes.

    All the best,
