Worried

Hi

I am currently waiting for an ultrasound as I have a swollen lymph node which is quite big on the right side of my neck and another one under me left armpit, I have been feeling very fatigued, having night sweats and my legs and right side of my hip is painful to walk on, my neck is sore too but the lump itself isn't, my bloods have came back with elevated white blood cells and I have been tested for infections and glandular fever which have all came back normal, I've had these lumps a few months now which are getting bigger, has anyone else had these problems? And how did you get a diagnosis? Also itchy skin which is driving me mad! 

  • Hello CherylH89

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some ongoing health concerns and that you're now waiting for some further tests. 

    I think many of our members here will understand how difficult this period of waiting for tests and results can be and it's natural to be anxious about what may be causing the symptoms that you're experiencing. Hopefully, the ultrasound will give the Dr's some answers and they will be able to give you some reassurance about things. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to chat with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they'll be happy to offer any information, advice, and support they can. 

    Best wishes,
