Hi, I certainly think you shouldn't just accept what you think is a wrong diagnosis - especially as you are getting worse.
Can you post the complete ultrasound report? Especially what comes before the word 'remarkable'. That situation s really odd, saying that you have nothing there while you have easily seen and felt bumps.
What you describe sounds like "generalized lymphadenopathy" because they are all over. But at this point we can't be sure that the bumps are lymph nodes. How big are they in general? How big is the biggest one? Did they pop up mostly overnight or grow gradually? Are they tender or even painful?
Btw, an ER is not a great place for diagnosing mystery conditions. They're more geared for handling easily diagnosed but very dangerous conditions.
The other main thing is that you are sure that you'd know the difference between 1) constriction in the lungs resulting from asthma, versus 2) this new symptom which is a single obstruction in the trachea while the lungs are okay. Right?
Can you move the bump over the trachea? Does that change breathing ability at all?
Yes that is right. And they dont seem to be so moveable, more tender
The big hurdle is the ultrasound report saying that nothing is there. So you need to sit with a doc (like a Family Practioner) with that report in hand while they can see and feel that something really is there. Even if the bumps were just pure water (cysts), the ultrasound should see that.
What happened when you've had a doc in the ER or anywhere feel the areas? What did they say?
This is wayyy old, but I wondered if you found out anything. As far as the report goes, well, I have a problem with certain radiologists around here from experience!!
Many things were missed on my reports making it look like I was making stuff up before. Totally different problem. It was my lower back and my neck area! I had an MRI where a male radiologist said on the report that all was good. I knew darn well it wasn't! 2 weeks later I had another. A female read it and she put all that was wrong including a broken disc. 4 weeks later another, a male once again put nothing was wrong! Another month later,the female put all kinds of things in there.
It literally was a pattern. I had surgery and had the disc fragment cleaned up and disc repair, etc. Anyway,later more neck and lower back issues. It was back to the same problem with the radiologists. It's like the men just had too many to do or they looked at only one of the hundreds of images and said nothing was wrong. The females seemed to take more time and noted the problems. I am not a feminist. I just noticed a patternaround here with radiologists and readings!
So, I'd request another reading of it from someone else or get another done, in the future if you have something and you are sure you do and they are saying it is normal and clear, or whatever.
That is just my experience. I have a MRI coming up next week. Trust me, I'm very worried about who is going to read it. I can request a certain radiologist, but the lady that is always right is no longer working at the place that reads them. There is another lady there, but she missed a tumor I had one time. However, she might be better than the men there who tend to not look at my images.
Anyway, again, I know this is very old and different situations/ areas, but I still think the radiologist makes all the difference.
