Do you get swollen nodules? Where do you get them?

Ever since I have had issues with the autoimmune junk I have had a lymph node in my neck getting swollen and hard. Sometimes the lymph node will go down but then it will get hard again and stick around for a good month or so.

I had a terrible ear infection about a month ago where my ear drum ruptured and the ENT told me that a swollen lymph node can indicate an infection (wherever the lymph node is, then the infection is somewhere higher up). That being said, I have also read that swollen… read more

Just wondering if anyone gets pain in their underarms.? For the last couple of weeks I have been getting pain/ache periodically in my underarm, by the joint... mostly on the left side. With all the different new pains I get throughout my body, its hard to know what is caused by fibro and what isn't. Thanks.

Does anyone else who wears glasses find that they can't bare the feel of them behind your ears sometimes? I've had them for months, maybe over a year, they've not been adjusted recently, and yet all of a sudden yesterday and today they're pressing against something painful behind the top and middle part behind my ears. My glands under my ears and jaw are always swollen but are there any glands where the arms of your glasses sit? It's hurting so much. I'm blind as a bat without them and contacts… read more

Hello,

Has anyone experienced consistently swollen lymph nodes in the neck? I have had two on one side that refuse to go down and it's been months. Seeing an ENT tomorrow and getting anxious. Tonight I'm trying a professional lymphatic massage. I'm starting to wonder if I have CFS as well. Thanks

I have been experiencing this for over a month. The internist did check and say its too small and doesnt feel suspicious. She felt my whole neck. But its only one small lump on the one side of my jawline?

Im jus wondering if this could be fibro as well?

I've had to have one lymph node taken out in 1997, and the ones under my jaw line and back of my head/neck area swell up then go down, the ENT didn't want to do any biopsy's and of course they weren't swollen up much at the appointment and he wants me to come back if and when they start to swell he wants to make sure it's not saliva glands swelling. And what blood work should i get my GP to do

Hi does anyone find the lymph nodes swelling? My lymph nodes have swelling a lot as of the last couple months. It happens in my neck and jaw and along my groin. Also like last night the base of my skull was hurting so much. When I checked my lymph node was swollen. Now others in my neck are swollen. I was also feeling like I was burning up. Body pain also getting worse these days. The frustrating thing about this disease is not knowing if this is just fibro or something more.

I was diagnosed with Fibro in 2008 and since then I've noticed my glands in my neck keep swelling.

I've had Glandular fever (as a teenager) so they're a bit temperamental as it is but the last year they've been even worse!!!!

Is it coincidence or could it be Fibro?!

Every time I have a flareup my left lymph node under my neck swells...is fibro autoimmune related?
