Petrified
I have swollen lymph nodes all over my neck; parotid swelling at both sides, and these hard, unmoving lymph node bumps- so yes, they will not budge even if you press on it and them
It’s swelling, pain, and mass is increasing. Moreover,
Lymph nodes protruding even on my bones - tell me do you think this is possible as a long term affect via the Chiari surgery? It was the posterior fossa decompression (craniotomy) with partial C1 laminectomy.
And I hate my Chiari doctors because they literally drop you once the operation is done; not to mention minimize all these complications post and ore surgery!!!! >.<
The swelling is also so bad it’s causing my inner ears to ache horribly and nerves numb/tingling all the way down to fingertips. And I really have trouble swallowing again ; facial twitch to side of face when it gets really bad (at the back of skull near incision site), too
And yes ENT confirmed it’s not sinus related; she’s no idea
&
ER confirmed the parotitis (swelling of parotid glands) is neither bacterial nor viral induced.
I’m 25/ a female / and also have XLH (actually what is what induced this whole congenital Chiari thing)
Thanks!!!!!
