6 months with Lymph Nodes?

Jannetty
Offline

Hi everyone. Like so many of you I also have enlarged Lymph Nodes, swollen on my Right side of my neck only. I have had a Blood Test, Chest Xray and Ultrasound and results have been all normal. When I bend my head forward with my chin to my chest it is just so uncomfortable!  My GP just does not want to know when I tell him, saying there is nothing wrong with me. Well! for me, this is not normal and I don't feel well with it. So just what is going on with my body? I am a 70 year old retired woman, who should be enjoying her retirement. I never ever thought I would feel like this.

  • Hello Jannetty

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things, particularly as you're dealing with some functional discomfort and feeling generally unwell. 

    It's good to hear that the tests you have to date haven't raised any immediate concerns. I wonder if there's another GP  in the surgery that you can speak with. Alternatively, you might consider raising your concerns with the surgery practice manager.  

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our team of nruses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and reassurance that they can. 

    I hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
