Do you get swollen nodules? Where do you get them?
Am waiting to see ENT consult re dry mouth/ lumpy salivary glands - apparently there are lymph nodes INSIDE in the parotid (salivary) glands - which surround the junction of jaw with temples. And… read more
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
What side of your neck and does it make your ear ache?Evelyn
I wake each day with pain in my neck, one side. I have replaced my mattress and pillows and feel comfortable yet wake each day with this pain. Is it Fibro?
3 of the 6 discs in my neck are degenerated. Much pain if I move my head too far to the left or right. A neurologist told me not to see a chiropractor. I plump my pillow so that it supports my… 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

Has anyone had any luck finding any answers? I have a swollen node in my neck that feels hard but movable & non painful and according to scan is 7mm although it feels a lot bigger, at least an inch… read more
Does some of you have swollen lymph nodes in neck and under arms ,i read somewhere (i can't remember where) that the lymph nodes can be swollen if you have fibromyalgia
Omg yes... currently going through this and it’s driving me nuts and it makes me so nervous. Almost every doctor I’ve been to says Fibro does not cause swollen lymph nodes...nor does it cause… read more

Where and why do you have the swollen lymph node? Did you have biopsy? Imaging? College of mine had fist size lymph node under jaw, even after biopsy and imaging could not identify any disease, but… read more

I woke up 2 days ago with the inside arm crease swollen up. It's not red or warm. Just hard and swollen, not tender when touched either. When I bend my arm though there is a bit of discomfort. When I bend my arm the lump or swelling seems to disappear. Only when it is completely straightened it is visible. Anyone ever have this???
it's typically a swollen lymph node--either from an infection nearby or yes, fibro makes lymph nodes swell suddenly. They may or may not be tender (mine are)
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?
No not yet. Im going back to the internist in February. I think she'll do testing then. Mine is very small. Under my chin. But its not painful. Iv been for an ultrasound for my breasts and under my… read more
Hello all,
I recently noticed two large lymph nodes in my neck and am wondering if anyone else gets swollen lymph nodes with fibro. One lymph node was measured in an ultra sound at 2.6 cm. It was deemed benign and reactive but it is not going away. It has been 2 months and I am seeing an ENT next week.
I know fibro does not cause inflammation but is it likely to have recurrent infections which may cause such continued lymph node inflammation ?
Thank you all. I look forward to sharing my… read more
