Swallon Lymph Node in the nect
Hi.
My (32 years old) wife has swallon lymph nodes on both sides of her neck (one on each side).
She also had two swallon lymph nodes on back of her neck. No swallon lymph nodes
in the arm pit or groin. Should we be concerned the swalloness is in one area.
It started about four weeks ago with neck pain.
We originally tried to get an appointment with ENT,
but no ENT wanted to see her since its not related to Ears, Nose, Throat.
We saw our family doctor and did some blood test.
WBC = 6.5
RBD = 4.35
Hemoglobin = 13.3
He said all the blood test is normal. Ruling out Leukemia or last stage cancer.
He did not rule out lymphoma. We are going to see an ENT he recommends
and then the ENT will do a full biospy of one of the lymph node and have it
reviewed by a pathologist.
My question is what is the possibility that this condition is an infection, inflammation,
or non-cancerous condition. I hope its not lymphoma of any kind.
The major symptoms she has been having is fatigue, NO loss of appetite, NO weigh loss,
NO fever, NO constaint headaches, NO dry coughing, NO itching, NO trouble breathing, NO chest pain, NO soaking night sweets. One evening she had some sweeting when she read some
of the symptoms of lymphoma.
The biggest concern is that she gets tried easily and has weakness.
The swallon lymph nodes are not reducing. They don't seem to be
getting larger either, but we are not experts to say that conclusively.
But its has only been four weeks and nothing has changed.
She has no family history of natural cancer (no tabacco or alcohol usage),
She does not use tobacco, do not drink alcohol at all, and is vegetarian.
Is there anything that would indicate this condition in not related to lymphoma.
I hope its not the case.
Thank you.

We were reading about the swollen lymph node, speaks about being Hodgkin's disease or Lymphoma. It says, "What is Hodgkin's disease? If left unchecked, the enlarged glands can eventually impair vital functions. Pressure on adjacent organs and nerve endings can result in dysfunction or paralysis.
I'm real glad she has gone to see a Dr., and I hope there is a good report there for her.

One more thing. My wife does not have a cold, fever, coughing, or any dental issues.
Thank you very much for the information. Great Advice.
For the past two days, my wife now has numbness in her arms and hand burning sensation.
This only happens during sleep. She wakes up in the middle of the night and has these symptoms.
She is not diabetic or has family history of diabetes. Her grandfather died at age 45 with a stoke.
Her parents are fine in their 60's. She wakes up in the middle of the night and starts shaking her
arms. She feels there is low blood circulation. Her arms don't seem pail at all.
Should we be concerned this might be related to paresthesia, MS, or any other nerve disorder.
She has been feeling fatigue for the past two months and still today. That has not stopped.
Her swallon lymph nodes started four weeks ago. For the past two days, numbness in arms
and hand burning sensation started. We are not sure what directly this is leading to.
Swallon lymph nodes relating to immune system disorder or recent symptoms ( numbness in arms and hand burning sensation) relating to nerve disorder. Her work involves repeative usage of pipet
under a hood with her arms extended forward. She is right handed and the muscle pain is on the right hand side of the neck. She has swallon lymph nodes on both sides of her neck.
We are going to see an ENT. Would he be able to distinguish if these symptoms are related
to immune system disorder or nerve disorders. What tests can be done to find out what is causing
this ?
Again, thank you for your assistance.

Hi. Lymph nodes become swollen for various reasons, but the more common reasons involve either an infection or an inflammation in a nearby area. A cough or cold, or even dental caries can result in swollen neck nodes. These more common possibilities have to be ruled out first before a diagnosis of lymphoma is entertained. If those swollen nodes have been there for some time and don't seem to be resolving, then a biopsy may help.
