I feel so worried about all of this and can only think the worse all information I can find points to cancer. I also have developed a strange bony lump on my foot and recently hip pain.. I have another appointment with my eye dr this week.
Goodluck with your ultrasound appointment I hope you can find some answers. I am new to this site, I have a large firm lymph node in my submandibular gland, I am waiting for a urgent 2 week referral to ENT, the doctor felt it and said it was 2cm, What bothers me is that I have for the last 2 years been suffering with what I was told was oral lichen planus, which was diagnosed privately through Bupa, the consultant just looked in my mouth and said you have OLP, originally this was constant stinging and burning sensation, I have had no biopsy done, I am now getting paranoid that I have been misdiagnosed and that I have actually got oral cancer, I have made numerous visits to the dentist in this time but he has admitted that he does not know much about OLP.
Since I found the lump a week ago I have been going online and researchig large nodes in submandibular glands and it has stated that it is most likely a spread from oral cancer of either tongue floor of mouth or buccal mucosa, these are the areas where I was supposed to have OLP, I have not been able to go to work and I can not sleep at nights through the wworry my family are fed up with listening to my concerns.
I have pain in my neck and throat along with ear pain, and my mouth is very dry and sore. Hi sorry so late at posting again I didn't think anyone would've text me on this lol , the doctor that day said she couldn't feel the one which I think is around 2cm , she kept trying but couldn't feel it which was very frustrating because I know it's deffinatley there and but the other ones she could feel she said felt normal, I also discussed with her my health anxiety and she referred me for CBT which I haven't had yet I just hope when I do it's going to help with this horrendous anxiety, still got all the same nodes now , haven't changed in size I don't think but still worry me daily.
I hope you can get some answers as to why yours are swollen, keep us updated and I wish you all the best! Have you told your doctors that one of your lymph nodes have grown? Thanks for your reply! I have yet another appointment for an ultrasound on Thursday I will let you know how the ultrasound goes on Thursday and I wish you all the very best. My MRI was last year in September which did show the lymph node was enlarged 1.
Have a great evening and will chat soon! I hope you are feeling ok! I am having very similar symtons to you and just wondered how you got on? I have a lesion on my left eye that I am waiting for a biopsy for.
The glands on the left side of my neck have swollen up submanibular and others and there are several small pea sized glands on the right side of my neck. I'm terrified that my eyelid lesion is cancer had it for 6 months now and that it has spread to my nodes. I saw the doc this week who did blood tests that came back normal which was less reassuring in a way as I don't feel ill so was hoping there was a reason for my glands swelling and the bloods would indicate this.
Causes include skin infections such as athlete's foot. A retained foreign object such as a sliver can be the cause. Teen girls can cause low-grade infections when shaving the legs. Widespread Swollen Nodes. Swollen nodes everywhere suggest an infection spread in the blood. An example is infectious mono.
Widespread rashes such as eczema can also cause all the nodes to enlarge. Normal Nodes. Lymph nodes can always be felt in the neck and groin. They are about the size of a bean. They never go away. They filter the lymph fluid coming from certain parts of the body.
They fight infections. Neck Nodes in Front. These drain the nose, throat and lower face. Neck Nodes in Back. These drain the scalp. Armpit Nodes. These drain the arms and upper chest wall. Lymph nodes are located throughout the body, distributed along the tubes of the lymphatic system. Places where you might be able to feel your swollen lymph nodes include your head and neck, under your chin, your arms, under your armpits, the area around your groin, and the back of your knees. You will not be able to feel swollen lymph nodes that are located in deeper parts of your body, but you may experience other symptoms.
For example, a swollen lymph node near the lung may cause a persistent cough. Lymph nodes can become swollen for a number of reasons. The most common causes of swollen lymph nodes are upper respiratory infections URI and infections in parts of the body near lymph nodes.
Swollen lymph nodes can sometimes be a sign of something less common. For example, they may be a symptom of cancer, HIV or tuberculosis. It may be a good idea to check your lymph nodes around once per month.
Areas that you might want to focus on include your head and neck, your underarms, and your groin. The British Association of Dermatologists has a leaflet - How to check your lymph nodes - which demonstrates the correct way to examine your lymph nodes at home. Lymph nodes that are just below the skin may be easier to feel when they become swollen as they will become larger.
You might experience other symptoms if a lymph node in a deeper part of your body becomes swollen, like a cough or swelling of a limb. See your doctor if you ever suspect one of your lymph nodes has become swollen or if you notice any lumps or bumps on your body.
Treatment for swollen lymph nodes will depend on the cause. If your doctor determines the cause of swelling is an upper respiratory infection, it may be recommended that you wait for about a week to see if your lymph nodes recover on their own.
