i would like to know what is wrong with me.I felt a small lump in the left side of my neck,i think this is a cervical node.I had this evaluated by an EENT she said its indeed a node but it was a flat node. i dont know if this has a relation but i have episodes of terrible headache specially when my period is coming. And i have persistent numbness in my left arm down to my hand,and sometimes pain in my left leg and toes, also i have pain in my left shoulder and chest which are also persistent. I am so afraid my father died of lung cancer 3yrs.ago., I have GERD and anxiety thats is why i dont know if im just being anxious for nothing but i cannot the fact that i feel the pain. my x-ray in dec.2009 also showed that my cervical spine is straightened, but it be due to spasm or my position during the x-ray. I am a female, 28yrs.old and a mother of 20mos.old baby girl. I delivered through ceasarian operation in nov.2008
Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. Paniless lumps on the neck with mild discomfort - possible cause could be lymph nodal enlargement.2. Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in infections and inflammations which can be localized or systemic and lump nodal pathology itself.3. If you are concerned and want to be in peace of mind - request your doctor for an ultrasound neck.4. Ultrasound will evaluate the nature of the lump. Its source and extensions, An FNAC to rule out any malignancy / cancer cells within.5. An abdomen pelvis ultrasound to assess any possible causes and abdominal lymphadenopathy.6.
