Scary symptoms

So about 9 months ago i visited the GP about my persistent tiredness and being run down. Blood tests were taken and came back normal. I visited last week due to a hard pea moveable lump just above my collarbone. One doctor seemed concerned, the other said it was normal. They asked about night sweats and itching, me being me said occasionally but nothing consistent. Actually, i have a patch on my back which becomes really itchy, especially in the shower and i wake up sweating every morning. Not drenched in sweat though. I also developed a pain in my elbow back in february which hasnt improved.  Ive noticed lumps by my pelvis, which i mentioned on my first gp visit, she said it felt like muscle wall however it now feels much bigger.

Im 32.

Getting in with our gp is near impossible and i dont want to waste anyones time.  Do you think i need to go back?

I know its all probably a coincidence, but my daughter relies on me and if it is anything nasty, i dont want to leave it.

Thanks

Hi, the most important question is: how big is the biggest bump in the groin? Is it still growing?

Having bumps show up in a new region like that is a matter for concern. I'd want to get a message to the doc about this new sign and ask if you should go back in. If the bumps are big and growing then the answer from her should be 'yes'.

On which side is the one above the collarbone? If it's the right side, that is reacting to possibly something with the lungs. Is your breathing okay?

Also make sure that the next time you get itching from water (called 'aquagenic pruritus') that you look to see if there is anything visible there or not. Also find out if it only happens with water that's hot. These are clues for doctors.
