Hey there,
I haven�t been here in a while. Time flies when... well, you get the point. Anyway, I have an issue, which I am not sure what to think. I would be interested to hear any similar experiences.
On Saturday, I felt what was like a pulled muscle in my neck. (same side as the �episode�).
Sunday Morning, it felt like I ripped a muscle. I was doing some heavy lifting, so I correlated the two to each other. It was in the area that the lymph nodes were removed 2.5 years ago. By Monday morning, things still felt just as bad, but the soreness was more focused. Real accute in the treatment field, in the area of scar tissue.
I would move my head, and it would hurt. I would put my finger on it (like checking for a swollen lymph node), and it really hurts. I don�t feel any lump or anything, just the scar tissue. And it really hurts when I touch it, or stretch that area out.
On Monday, I went to see my GP, to get a preliminary assesment, and some mediciine. It was more me telling him my game plan, but I value his opinion. My thinking is that I have an infection, and this is what it goes like. My lymph system is all fused, and it just doesn�t work like it use to.
The accute pain is all in the treatment area. My ear and behind my eye (same side) intermittantly ache, and I even have some numbness on that side of my face/neck.
The GP gave me a strong antibiotic, and I see will see my ENT next week.
Has anyone had anything like this? Pain in the original area? I�m almost 2.5 years out, and this is the first time I have had something like this pop up.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Mike
