Hello, sorry to double post it's just that it seems i've got so much going on and i'm extremely desperate. This one is very strange but I am very concerned.I've got many issues on going on and weird things with my body. I've been experiencing pain in my stomach area that feels like a dull ache or sore as well as my liver area and abdomen altogether. It's either dull aches or sores or really painful blasts of sharp stabbing pains. Then last night I was at a friends house watching movies and I noticed a hard lump in the right side of my neck right under my jaw and so I massaged it and the more I massaged it..it started to go away. After words it has been sore here and there on the inside of my throat but no more lump. What the heck could that have been?No last but not least as I don't know how serious this could be I have found a HUGE lump in my ear canal. I believe it has been due to this...I have an addiction to cleaning my ears out with cotton swabs on a daily basis. I don't know if it's me becoming OCD about keeping out ear wax or if it's that I like how it feels to clean my ears out. So i had an itch in my ear and went to scratch it to find this huge lump almost completely blocking up the hole in my ear canal. It does not hurt but it is very hard and again pretty much obstructing my ear canal. I noticed it awhile back actually but it was very minor and didn't think anything of it. Now I am very alarmed it has grown in size. My right ear is perfectly fine and it only shows me how far from normal my left ear is. I'm so scared it might be something serious and have read up on it and so far I've gotten that it could either be a cyst or a benign tumor or that there is a possibility that it could be serious? What should be done? What kind of test or Dr. should I go to ? Would a visit to my primary care physician suffice? Blood work and a biopsy? Again there is no pain..wouldn't there be pain if it was something serious?
It sounds like you need to go see your regular doctor. Sharp pain in the abdomen, losing weight, infrequent bowel movements, and being unable to feel the need to urinate are significant symptoms that definitely demand some answers.
Make up a list of symptoms and take it in with you so you don't miss anything. Sometimes doctors see an anxious patient and dismiss many of their symptoms as a physical result of the anxiety, even when there is a real medical issue. If you are well prepared, you will seem less of an anxious person and more of a patient with real symptoms to be concerned about.
Hey, thank you for replying Ricobord.Apologies on the delay.Yes, you seem to be right. I have an appointment coming soon too.Thank you. Yes ,this makes sense to make a list like you have advised. I had done this before too but he just took the list and entered it in the pc and said they are just symptoms and that was that. I have been educating through the net and plan on getting this settled if I can. Thank you again. This seems to be very good advice. Thank you for the help. :) Hope you have a great weekend.
