Abnormal pain

My brother is sick for more than a year and no one know what is wrong with him. He is complaining about pain below the collarbone just under the arm cavity, and the glands under his arm is also swollen. He has pain on the right side of his neck, and his face feels dead )right side and an awful funny deathly fatigue came over him).  He will go into a coma and suddenly wake up again.  He is also complaining about painful muscles, feeling confused from time to time, weight loss, sweats and fatigue. He done a couple of blood tests and still no results.  What can be wrong with him? We as family are very concerned about his illness.

I agree with spoiler101, he should really be seen by a doctor and have a full work-up if he hasn't already.  It sounds like he may have some pretty big swollen lymph nodes that might be pressing on some nerves, causing his face to feel dead.  It's hard to say what it is he has, but his symptoms are very concerning, so I hope he is able to see a doctor soon.

It is hard to tell with so little to go on? Does someone go to the doctor's with him, to help explain some of his symptoms? He needs to first start off with a physical, & a complete CBC. Once his PC , then can go over his results, & maybe refer him to a specialist. You do not mention if he is active, or overweight, age, & etc. His doctor should have gone over his results, & ask him what might be his problem? Hope this helps some, & good luck!
