Confusing: If your GP was not able to palpate a lump, then is it gone?? Did you try and show him/her where it was located?? Anyway, chances are it is a reactive lymph node which should go away within a week. Suggest seeing your GP again if it is still there after 2 weeks

Is a slight swelling of the lymph glands in the neck (but not in the armpits or groin) a common side-effect of lamotrigine? I do not have influenza, a cold, HIV or lupus?

I have swelling and pain in my armpit, neck, and collarbone on the left side. Ultrasound showed a mass in my neck but a follow-up CT scan showed nothing. Ultrasound also showed none of my lymph nodes are swollen. What else could the swelling be?

Male 53, achy "dragging sensation" armpits but no swelling or lumps, mainly right armpit, sometimes left armpit too, sometimes pain on inside of arm. Light Rash on front of neck below beard line. Could this be cervical stenosis?

I have felt this hard lump in my neck for about 3 weeks now. I don't know how long it's been there since I only checked when I got the flu, but it doesn't seem to be going away. I don't know if it's my glands just swelling or what?
