The lymph nodes in my neck have been swollen without pain for a few weeks now...

I gotta stop Googling shit. Apparently, it's a common symptom of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Ready to dive off a cliff into the ocean at this point.

Could be many reasons. Don’t get yourself all worried about it. A virus of mono can cause swollen neck lymph nodes, an infected tooth, and many other things that are not what you’re reading on Google.

In fact I dealt with this exact thing with my daughter. Here lasted a long time… months, and months. They were pretty swollen too. Could see them just looking at her. In and out of doctors offices for blood tests, ultrasounds on them, her white blood count was also off which made me even more worried about the exact thing you’re reading.

They then sent her to a pediatric oncologist to monitor everything. After about we had several appointments there. She was pale for losing all her color in her skin except around her eyes were really really dark almost like left over bruising from having a black eye.

No one was giving us any definitive information and wanted to just keep monitoring things over time keeping a watch on the size and her blood work levels.

Eventually they referred her to a surgeon to remove the lymph nodes (there were two, they had been watching) they ran a biopsy after the lymph node removal and everything came back negative.


This was from about 3 years ago.

With all that said, don’t let your mind of what if get too far into google. Do get it checked when you can, and follow up with what the doctors want you to do. I know it’s hard to do but don’t let it worry you until you have definitive answers. More than likely there is something else causing it to swell up

First of all, don’t Google that stuff but now that you have swollen lymph nodes are the doctors looking into that?

It can also mean infection too.

@iamonfire696 Not yet. I have a couple of appointments coming up.

I really just don't care anymore.

@thepreposterouspanda I care though and please mention it to your doctor. It’s probably not what you think and at least can put your mind at ease about that.
