Thank you so much. I was so scared for months, had such bad health anxiety that I hugged my girl and told her I loved her thinking I was going to die. It seems over dramatic but health anxiety is so heavy that it’s suffocating. This honestly helped so much.
@@our..friendd I’m fine, lymph nodes can be enlarged for any reason apparently - went in for an ultrasound for my neck and luckily no malignancy. Hope you’re doing well
@@suntzu6211 thank you! Just wanna add on, how long have your lymph nodes been swelling? And is it still there? I’m currently 12 rn and suffering from health anxiety rn lol
@@our..friendd ah for 3 years. Trust me at your age cancer is insanely rare. I’m 10 years older than you but most cancer cases are diagnosed in people in their 50s-80s. You haven’t been exposed to enough carcinogens trust me. Doubt you smoke 🤣
Your videos have helped me get a full night's sleep for the first time in over a week. Fair play to you for using your difficult experience to help people in a similar situation 🙏
Can’t thank you enough, you are a real life saver. Have had a lump behind my ear since November (approx. 5 months) and have been so worried I definitely suffer from hyper sensitivity. thank you!
You have literally calmed my nerves by at least 50% after watching this video. I have a what a doctor called reactive lymph node in my neck, said nothing to worry about but may be a sign of an infection and to to back in a month, said to rule out the C Word, naturally I didn't believe him because I am insane. So I google, I prod, I poke, I squeeze the thing until its doubled in size and I'm sat here in a ball of anxiety. It is so refreshing to listen to your video, and to read other comments, there are people like me out there. Thank you in all seriousness for your video, and to anyone who's spoke of their troubles. My god it helps.
In the same situation right now and have extremely bad health anxiety, I cant grasp why the doctor wants to see me in 6 weeks if she isn't worried about it, hope yours is OK now?
I came across this channel recently, November of 2022 I began to notice swollen lymph glands which I now accept were reactive. It was unusual as I had never felt them before in my entire 41 years of existence . I began to google what these lumps were and was given the worst diagnosis from my search result. As the days went on I was convinced I had Cancer. Ive never in my life been through such an ordeal as I put myself through. The fear was like nothing I had ever experienced. I went to A doctor and he examined me and said these are "reactive" Lymph nodes. It felt great the relief I felt on the journey home. Once I got home I was fine until I lay in bed that evening and began to think. I began feeling the lymph nodes and noticed my voice was getting a bit croaky. I then began to combine the Lymph Node search terms with my saw throat. Next thing I convinced myself I had neck Cancer. I didnt sleep for so long. At night time I began to feel fearful of going to sleep. This continued and I visited the doctor again and reported the new symptom of a saw throat. He examined me and said yes you likely have a cold and likely this may be causing your reactive lymph nodes. I felt temporary relief again but within hours i was back at it again googling my symptoms. I was all over WebMD like a mad thing furiously typing in search of what is causing my symptoms. This cycle went on for months. until around March time. I began to feel so exhausted by the worry that I felt tired all the time. I was adding tiredness as a new search term along with Lymph nodes. (By this time my cough had cleared up) The Cancers I thought I had were numerous. I visited the doctor again although this time he diagnosed me with health anxiety. I had never in my life given a second thought to my health why at 41. I never understood at the time. I made a promise to my self that I would stop googling symptoms. Its such an easy thing to say but doing it is incredibly hard, but I stuck to my promise. I began concentrating on my hobbie in hopes of turning it in to a job. I was so focused on this that before I knew it months had passed and I hadnt googled my symptoms once. 6 months after first noticing them my Lymph Glands began to dissipate. One remained shotty which is fine as i now know alot about shotty lymphs . Who ever needs to hear this. Take away from my experience is you have to starve the anxiety of any stimulus what so ever. Rule number 1 Do not google your symptoms. Rule number 2 Do not google your symptoms. You will never beat it unless you can get your head around the complete abdication of googling health symptoms or bodily sensations. If you want the nightmare to end you must starve the anxiety. Its completely beatable . Its not easy but its worth it to regain your sense of inner peace. You have to be willing to fight for it. First step is deleting all of your saved health searches. Next step Connect with someone friends or family. Take a trip out for lunch. Go out for a long walk in the country or even just a park. Every time you feel the urge to google ask yourself. Is there something more beneficial I can be putting this time in to. Perhaps taking up a new hobbie. Perhaps plan that trip you have been wanting to go on. The more you do this the stronger those neurological pathways to recovery become. You got this !
@@joreinerwidjaja1882 Hi there, They were on both sides of my neck towards the back intersecting with the shoulder. One of them has completely gone down the other is no longer reactive but its a shotty Lymph node so yea I still feel it a bit but only when I look for it. What symptoms you having If its not to forward of me to ask ? 🙏
Hello @@glynallen8914 thanks for replying 😊 I’ve noticed a lymph node for about 5 weeks now. On the side of my left neck. No other symptoms. I first noticed it while it was tender and a wee bit painful. It has gone down in size, but it hasn’t been fully gone, thus my anxiety. Checked with 2 GPs all said it’s normal, but this was about on the 1st and 3rd week. So wondering if I ought to check with a specialist (As you can tell this has been on my mind 😂)
@@joreinerwidjaja1882 😂 I can tell it sounds as though you might be focusing alot of attention on it. Im going to be honest. If your lymph glands were swollen because of something more serious they would have increased in size around every 3 to 4 weeks. Have it checked once more but consider this. Doctors train for 7 years before anyone will let them loose on a person. By the time a doctor is being let loose on other humans they will have seen quite a significant number of ailments. Learn to trust your doctor. By all means go see them again. What I did was I made a booking to see my GP every 6 weeks. I then told myself the day I see my GP is the only day I will think about it. If you are obsessing about it daily it wont ever go away. your mind will always focus on a perceived threat. Move that focus elsewhere for long enough and neurons in your brain will wire together and fire together as new habits are formed.
I’ve had a swollen lymph node in my neck for about 2-3 years. When I first found it I panicked so much and I remember finding this video and starting therapy. Thanks so much for this video it was so informative and really helped me rationalise x
Hi I’m great no health issues the lymph node is still there but never changed. The therapy really helped and I rarely have like massive worries about it now, I occasionally fall back into it but it often is just a passing thing. But yeah I’m really good and this video really did help me! :)
For me? Yeah! It wasn't fun... He did like 8 passes, which means 8 different times I was stuck with the needle, then he aggressively poked the lymph node over and over to get the best samples... But I felt nothing and the staff was great and it was benign. Whew!
My god you are literally me. I’ve gone from thinking I had lymphoma to thinking my daughter does. I have been through all this. It’s so good to know I’m not the only one like this. Thank you so much for doing this xx
Thanks so much! You're a life saver! I've been worrying about a very small lymph node in my neck that's not even noticeable unless i feel it. I've no sign of infection, so it's unexplained. Keep thinking I've got lymphoma. The last few days have been a struggle, but you've helped me get through them. Thank you.
@p1xi3dust333 Mines is still here! Although it hasn't changed or grown at all so i believe its nothing serious. I also have no other underlying symptoms.
Thank you for this. So reassuring! I’ve literally been worrying because of the on one side thing mainly. Health anxiety is a curse hope we all get over it asap!
Thanks so much. I wish I had come across your post a couple of weeks ago. Anxiety is so hard. Your whole world focusses inward. The doctor says, 'let's get it tested to be sure' and before you know it, it's CT scans and biopsy needles and clicking machines. Your in and out before you remember any questions at all. Anyway thanks again for doing the post.
I’ve been living a nightmare due to finding a lymph node in my neck, could of been there for years, I checked because I was worried about a mole and got in to my head it’s cancer and it’s spread. Then I found this lump and convinced myself I had stage 3/cancer. I started itching everywhere (in my mind). This video has made me feel so much better. Thank you
Been watching your videos lately, and it really helps me a lot with health anxiety.. you're a gift from heaven. Sending prayers for you and to your family.. I really hope you're doing well.😊🙏 Watching from Philippines🇵🇭
Amazing video ! Literally assured me with everything i wanted to hear , its so good to see someone with health anxiety speak up to reassure people. More people should do and help stop the edless google symptom checker
I am so grateful I came across your video. My anxiety has been building due to small lymph nodes I can feel in my neck. It would freak me out to a point where I didn’t want to check my neck and discover changes, but at the same time I was obsessive about it and sometimes couldn’t stop touching my neck - felt like I was going crazy! My husband keeps saying it’s nothing, he is so confident and I wish I felt that confidence. But your video has really helped me! Thanks G
Same here i woke n felt in my neck had it before but goes away. I want to know why we get them. N how to keep em away. Yours is nothing to worry about dont look at google they scare me
This is literally my mind in a different body. I have a hard bump right in front of my ear and some ear pain. I’ve had three panic attacks in the past week because of everything I keep reading online. And it’s getting in the way because I’m just always googling everything. Since COVID-19 all the doctors are busy so I’ve been waiting a month I get an ENT appointment so all I do is worry. Which of course my anxiety causes stomach issues, sinus irritation, palpitations, headaches. That makes me think it’s spread to other parts of my body. I also get worried, because I hear about all these stories of doctors not listening to women or ignoring their symptoms. I totally understand y’alls worry. If you are worried just talk to a doctor, DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING. (I honestly google something at least once or twice a day for reassurance and it never works.). Just take a breath. You’ll be okay :).
Thank you so much. Ive been anxious about discovering one in my neck. I've been panicky and at times found myself staring somewhere. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Hope mine is nothing serious. The good thing is you help me deal with my anxiety and stress. ❤
Also, anyone with immune diseases like fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Epstein Barr Virus (98% of us have this virus), etc. can develop swollen nodes. Also, stress can trigger swelling. These are not deadly conditions, some are just chronic illnesses that cause swollen lymph nodes. Cancer is very rare when it comes to lymph nodes. Just relax and get checked for your own peace of mind, but know you are most likely fine. Smile :)
genuinely thank you so much. i’m incredibly worried that i may have lymphoma and i just can’t wrap my head around it. i know how unlikely it is but im still convinced i may have it, my anxiety is through the roof just at the constant thought of having it… anxiety is horrible.
This has been me for the past month googling things and then googling other things from my groin lymph node thinking it was so big and you’re helping me realize it’s not Sitting here thinking I have cancer and looking up all the different symptoms of those cancers and then sitting there asking myself if I feel lethargic Also this worry has screwed up my appetite and then I read about the appetite thing Health anxiety is so real and I never realized how real it is until my groin lymph node was more noticeable than usual This video helped me a lot And now since I searched lymphoma now my phone keeps shooting ads for lymphoma treatment at me 😢
I wish you the best, I am in the same boat right now. How are you getting on? My lymph node under my arm is swollen and as well I’ve got a random lump on my chest near my sternum. I’ve convinced I have cancer and I can’t eat or think about anything else. Health anxiety is the worst, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
@@michelleelizabeth3317 have you gone to see a doctor? I finally went to see a doctor and the doctor understood my concerns because the lump was exactly where the lymph node is but it wasn’t my lymph node Not getting it checked caused more issues than anything. It gave me anxiety, made me lose my appetite, consumed my mind every day But after I got it checked I felt a wave of relief come over me and my appetite was back Our mind is super powerful it can convince us of things that aren’t real My advice is if you’re concerned go get it checked You can create symptoms in yourself by thinking about it From now on if I think somethings wrong I’m going to get it checked because I put myself through so much stress and anxiety for weeks because I diagnosed myself Prayers going out for you and hoping you go get it checked and everything is ok 🙏
I got follecular lymphoma cancer stagec3 - told aug 23 after being told mar 23 no cancer- had 6 rounds of chemo n jabs every other month start feb - doc can get it wrong- one day at a time-
I am so grateful. You have no idea. I’ve been so low, literally panic stricken for days. Couldn’t eat or sleep - mine is the size you say is healthy. I am so relieved. I can relax now. Thank you. You’ve saved my life xxx
@@brandonohara4122 Well sis, I ended up getting checked last week because I went to a very dark place and all my lymph nodes came back benign. It was hell for 3 months and I’m finally over this. If it’s driving you crazy, just get them checked out to ease your mind 😭 also, mine swelled up from touching it too much and they’ve gone down now as well.
I Have had multiple Lymph Nodes turn to cysts and become abscesses, My doctor argued with me it was because i smoke. I now get acute lymphoedema with the the infections. The infections have left my face scared in multiple places and cause 7-8 week long infections. Don't be afraid to challenge your Doctors, like the rest of us, they learn every day
Sir a day before yesterday I found that eptriochlear lymph nodes on my left arm are swollen . Its size would be maximum 1 cm in size . Is it cancer sir ? My body temperature ranges between 98.4 F to 98.8 F . I don't experience night sweats . I took 2nd dose of covishield on 9th august . I haven't lost weight . My pulse is around 85 , Breathing rate per minute is 13 . My current weight is 65 kgs . BP is 120/80 . Age is 20 years . I don't have swollen lymph nodes in armpit , neck or groin only eptriochlear of left arm is swollen . Should I wait for 2 weeks or go to doctor immediately . Google says its lymphoma . I am very scared sir . Sir there is no history of cancer in my family or extended family . What are the chances of it being cancerous . Sir pls help .
@@silverstone9952 the chances are very very low. you said you took the vaccine? that’s most likely if not entirely the reason why you are experiencing the lymph nodes. do you know if you’re having an infection going on in your body? also, how long have you had the lymph node and when did it appear?
@@SaraLevins I took 2nd dose of vaccine on 9th August . My pea sized (max 1 *1 cm) lymph node appeared on 4th september . Its still there . It has not grown in size . I don't have any other swollen lymph node in any part of body . I haven't lost weight . I don't have fever . I did cbc and all reports were normal except for my esr which was 26 mm . I don't have any infection or injury .
@@silverstone9952 Then you’re most like 99% fine. Where do you live? If you can, go to a doctor and let them just check it quick so you can calm down. It’s most likely related to your vaccine.
I have had 3 pea size nodes on each side of my chin. My ultrasound showed they were all together. Blood work is okay. No health problems. However, my chin looks like a double chin, which is unpleasant for me. They been there for about 2 years. Cant seem to get ride of them. Also, I had work done to my teeth. They are all healthy but who knows whats inside the crowns. The dentist says I am fine. I think it may be that or the earaches I used to get often as a kid.
This is crazy. You dont know how much i relate to the swollen lymph node in the groin! Im going through the exact same thing. Ive been puttinf it off for so long. Im going to get it examined tomorrow. But this video has cleared up so much of my stress u have no idea!
I had 4 nodes in my neck over a centimeter. I had a CT scan 2 years ago and nothing remarkable. Also my left collarbone is covered in small rubbery movable nodes , but nothing but smooth bone on the right side . I’m having a checkup next month and I’m going to show her they are still there and have not decreased in size at all tfs This time I’m going to have her check all nodes that she can because that was never done .
Tysm! I've had 2 lymph nodes in my neck that we're only noticable by feeling them and one is the size of a pea while the other one is the size of a bean. I've had them for over 2 or 3 months and they haven't changed in size whatsoever. I was super worried but this video helped alot.
Thank you very much...you have reduced my anxiety on this ...... Your experience was similar to me .. even i was also kept touching my groin swollen lymph node due to anxiety....... mentally you are exact copy of me ...i behave and talk, explain and do research about everything like you .... mentally you are exact copy of me ..i am not kidding..even your age is also similar with me...... anyways thanks for spreading awareness about this...is made my mind calm
I have a lymph node swollen on my neck it’s small but hard. I went to GP she told me to do X-rays and blood tests also fine needle aspiration.i have done X-rays today they are totally fine but waiting for the blood tests and aspiration appointment. I am so concerned I am only 37 years old I have a nearly 5 years old daughter and 3 months old son. I. Am so nervous. Because I have already so many concerns with my health.Asthma,celiac, rheumatoid arthritis, umbilical hernia,bit of over weight 5.9 inches height but 103 kg weight. A am always weight 90 kg since I grown. Please pray for me . I am living in New Zealand. I love my children allot. I already lost my mother and father too. I used to have a stress allot and being alone and sad after my mother.
You’ve really helped me so much. I’ve had a swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck for 3/4 months now. I had 2 courses of anti biotic which I waited 2 weeks in the space of those until it went down. However it hasn’t gone down, I got blood tests and the doctor told me I’m fine nothing has come up and it’s all clear, he also felt it too. He’s booked me a ultra sound for some peace of mind as he knows I’m a hypochondriac. I’m still panicking daily as I’m still concerned incase it’s something bad as I’m getting ear pain that side and also pain in my head as I have a lump on the back of my head that side, I’ve had this lump again for 3-5 months it’s not grown so could possibly be a gland. Just hoping the ultra sound is ok and the glands go because I’m sooo scared it’s something bad!
mia galilea hey! The doctor said it looked normal and haven’t had my results which means it’s ok! Keep getting pain though so still kinda worried but hopefully it’s nothing, thank you ❤️xxx
Lucy Ledgeway it’s actually very normal for it to stay swollen permanently after an ear/nasal/scalp or whatever infection, and as long as you have no other symptoms, you should leave it alone resting there by itself, i would not fret about it 👁
I’m really scared and I’m only 13 I think I have health anxiety cause I would google everything Nd I try to help my self but it feels like a never ending nightmare sometimes I ask myself why is my life like this..Nd I hate tht feeling...💔
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday…. I found a bean sized/shaped one in my groin yesterday..only on left side.. freaked me out…. Listening to this has eased my mind…. But … I am trusting my soul to Jesus anyway.. so… I just don’t want to be a burden to anyone and I want to ride my motorcycle this coming season…April ish..
I've had a hard lymph node behind my ear for 2 years around 1cm in diameter, zero symptoms, but I've been conviced I have lymphoma for the last few weeks. Getting a biopsy next week, wishing the best for myself and anyone else with health anxiety!
@@Bunny-vs8kq Went for the biopsy appointment. they gave me an ultrasound and told me I didn't need a biopsy because it looked safe from the ultrasound. I don't have cancer :D
Update: biopsy came back negative. Not cancerous. It was a calcified adipose lymph node. Advice: whenever you feel any swelling around your breast or armpit (axilla) area, consult your physician. Thanks 🙏
@@brxtsie ❤️❤️ thanks for reaching out. To be honest, I felt no pain, nothing. They found that from the mammogram I did. and also on ultrasound. But after the biopsy, they said it was just a normal tissue. I was more than happy.
Im so glad i found you. I want to cry. Im so terrified of lymph nodes. I have a lot of swelling and pressure on my groins and hips. I feel like very uncomfortable but i cannot find swollen lymph notes. Im thinking the worse and Im afraid to go see a doctor.
I’m glad you’re here too. I hope you feel better by knowing that there are so many of us here that have been through this worry and it’s all turned out to be absolutely fine. 🫶🏽
I'm not kidding - this video saved me. I have severe healthy anxiety and, upon finding an almond-shaped, almond-sized lymph node behind my jaw/under my ear, I freaked out. I literally could (and can) not stop thinking I have lymphoma, because it feels very firm and not movable, which was also terrifying. Now that you mention it, there really is nowhere else for it to move, as it's under the skin and pressed against muscle, tendons and obviously my jaw bone. I'm still going to see the hematologist because there is still a possibility that it's something sinister, but fingers crossed it's not. Anyways, thank you so much for this video, it definitely did calm me down a lot and I feel like I can breathe until my actual appointment, which is next tuesday (21/12). Fingers crossed!
How was you appointment? Your the 1st person I seen that has the exact same thing as me. I called it egg shape but almond is perfect. Plz contact me back. Hope all is well
@@mooselightning8391 Hello! 🖤 Writing back to inform you that it was nothing sinister! My tonsillar lymph node was, indeed, slightly enlarged, but it was nothing but a shotty lymph node. By that, from what I understood after going to the doctor, it just means that the lymph node failed to return to its original size/shape due to this one recurrent infection I had (sinusitis & otitis). The doctor I went to also explained that the tonsillar lymph node, which is the one behind the jaw/under the ear is one of the largest ones and usually not movable/superficial because it's located between muscles and tendons, and also because it's one of the deep cervix lymph nodes. Still, if you're too worried about it, I'd recommend looking into it - just for some peace of mind. It's probably nothing, though, as many people have naturally palpable tonsillar lymph nopes. Take care!
Interesting. Im 74. Had swelling off and sometimes accompanied with pain. Had problems with my thyroid gland all my life. But never gave much thought about lymph nodes. Thanks.🙂
Thank so much for this video. Like you I have health anxiety and this vid has given me such a feeling of relief because you actually got answers from your doctors that people like me are searching for online and cannot find. There was one thing though. I have a sore lymph for a few weeks but no lumps. I need to see if my doc can explain that
2.6 - 3.0 cm lymph nodes in groin for past 6 weeks +. Nowehere else in the body, no symptoms. Going for CAT scan today, biopsy tomorrow. Freaking out, naturally
@@swingboutiquehey, i also have lump in my groin about 2.5cm.. Sonologist says it's a swollen lymph node but I'm worried.. how's your now ?? Is it gone?
I’m so happy I found your video, I’ve been crying and googling all morning because I woke up with a swollen lymph node in my armpit. This really eased my anxiety
@@caonimaaacao2682 yes it was just a side effect of my covid vaccine. The lymph node went away after few weeks. I did go see my OB and did an exam and breast ultrasound and everything came back clear. Thank god- I’m now on medication and in therapy to deal with my anxiety 💗
Wow im happy for u i just got mine last night under my left and jaw then suddenly i check on my right then i felt one moving like a pea been smoking for 6 years im freaking out and just been reading comments
@@caonimaaacao2682 I know it can be scary but most of the time it’s just your body fighting off something- pea sized is not considered swollen by the way. If you go searching for lymph nodes you’ll always find them. I know it’s hard not to do but I’m sure you’re fine if it’s that small
It's 3am now and I can't even sleep beacause of my health anxiety.. and this video omgs you saved my life I also couldn't believe what the doctor said that it is fine but most of the symptoms that descrived on the internet said that if ur lymph nodes are unmovable and not painful at all it could be the cancer. And that terrified me a lot and I even cried relief now thank you so much
Im messing with mine now i have to stop hope it goes away im lots neck and teeth problems and saw throtes everything is in my neck im so fed up. Im greatful for your video youtube should give millions of likes
I have a hard, swollen inguinal lymph node right now. Doctor checked and said that’s what it was - I have blood work scheduled this Sunday and an ultrasound scheduled for 2 weeks from now 😢
@@bferrell1797 well, the inguinal lymph node went down. I have another in my neck that was checked and is just “reactive…” However, I did find a lump in my left breast not too long after and just had it plus a few axillary lymph nodes under both armpits biopsied… still waiting for the results 😓
@@bferrell1797 my bloodwork was normal, they also did a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and checked for tumor markers (all normal but, you can still have cancer with normal tumor markers so, testing for them isn’t super reliable).
This was very helpful, I felt one around my neck and I was so worried, it's really small and even the doctor said there's nothing to be worried about, still I was worried sick. This helped me a lot. Google is the worst in these cases.
I developed 2 on my groin due to an ingrown that turned into a cyst. Seeing what a swollen lymph node compared to a small one I can feel should ease my anxiety but I can't stop thinking about it.
Thank you so much for this helpful video, recently I had a severe ear infection and it swelled up my lymph nodes in my neck I also got more scared about my lymph nodes because my cousin was recently diagnosed with lymphoma but I was told by 3 doctors that this was normal because I had an ear infection but because I googled I got scary results and then for the past 3 weeks I’ve been feeling and checking my neck and found multiple little bumps in my neck and I have been checking my neck up to 6 times or even more a day and it’s been super stressful and I’ve cried for days thinking the worst as my family and friends think I’ve gone crazy. But this video has actually made me feel a lot better and not alone.
Really important and super under reported piece you covered. If you are 15-35 even 40, and you have had chronic lymphnode swelling it is very rare for those nodes not to be very large/aggressive over a year or so. Remember out of all chronic lymph edema cases under 40 only .4 percent are cancerous.
You cant always feel them. I have one that doesn't feel very big scan shows that one is almost an inch short axis. 3 others that only scans show. I cant feel them in my neck. With in 3 months fatty hila is only a small amount vs the scan done 3 months prior that showed normal fatty hila. Would you say that's normal? 🤔
I had this fear about over 4 years ago when I had my 1st child I have one at the side of my neck has been there a long time has never went away so my worries went away, then I had my other child 4 months ago an now it’s back n I keep checking again same worries
For me my lymph swollen like every month and it hurts so bad, I don’t know does it has a relations with my period maybe ? Then it goes and it comes back again .. on my neck back of my head , armpits… this it actually started since 2 years , if someone has something like me help please, it’s hard to live with health anxiety disorder 😢
What about the ones that you can see when your crank your neck a certain way? I have one below my ear that’s like that when I extend my neck muscles on my right side. I got it checked by my doc but i’m still scared about it.
I felt like my arm had a ball under it and felt around found a swollen lymphnode and it was around the time my period was due and started my period now my period is almost over and the thing went down and it’s no where near as big as it was and I talked to my mom (a nurse) and she said it could be my period with hormonal things and I have bad health anxiety and thought I had cancer but now it’s gone I think I’m okay!!
Hello dear, but if you are feeling globus sensation, tho I think I've had an infection and also I do read a lot on quora, and they will say they had these things, and then they later figure out they had lymphoma and maybe lung cancer, why is it like that? Do you think the world is changing or what? Because I don't know. Please If you see my message kindly reply me please🙏🙏🙏🙏😢
I have lymph node under my left jaw..it's dimension is 1.2*0.5cm.ENT Doctor told me it was fine.may be because danruff and pimple on face also causes lymph nodes to swell.later on I feel itching all over my body.i feel like so anxiety about itching
I just found this video. I have the exact same issue with groin lymph nodes. I've also done the Google Black hole and constant worry. I've had an ultrasound, and everything came back normal except it being reactive, but within the normal size range. Hasn't changed in size over the last year, except when I constantly touch it and gets swollen. Thank you for this video.
oh my god!! I suffer from health anxiety, i’ve got a swollen lymph node in my neck for about 2 months now and i poke and prod it and due to covid the docs won’t see me!!! You have saved my life, i can sleep at night now !
I have a lot of palpable lymphnodes! I have one just in front of my ear which moves over my jawjoint when i open my mouth. Very movible i guess? Sometimes i ever hear it rolling over my joint and it sucks.. I just read a article about a man who got a rash due to lymphoma.. That night i literally found a rash. Like colorless little bumps on my arm.
I'm having two nodes on neck (one on left side and one on right side)both is kinda pea/almond shaped!!also I have lumps behind ears and back of head!! Im scared that I have some kind of cancer🥺 Literally my brain is telling me that I have lymphoma,brain tumor,oral cancer....idk does anyone know about this?? please reply
@@kylenotellin5938 I did several ultrasounds and biopsy yesterday. The ultrasound looked good though. Maybe you will get a hunch tomorrow from the tech even though they aren’t allowed to really say anything so DONT get worried if they don’t. Results should come back fast. I’ll be hoping everything goes smooth tomorrow and soon your mind will be put at ease. All my ultrasounds were smooth and I got results within a couple days I believe.
Good luck 💛. I hope after your appointment tomorrow you will have a piece of mind. I know this is one of the scariest times I’ve been though and it’s hard not to worry but it could be nothing at all! Either way your getting checked out so you will feel so much better talking to a dr and knowing what’s going on so you know what to do or not do next. Everything will be okay! You got this!!!
Had a lymph node grow to about 5 cm fo 2 years on left side of neck. Biopsy came back as squomous cell carcinoma. Treatment options such as surgery,,radiation and chemo have major side effects and risks. Stuck on the threshold of indecisiveness.
Just want to share from experience, that after getting the covid vaccine, my lymph nodes around my clavicle felt a bit enlarged and they never went down in size. So, if after vaccination, you feel them, please don't freak out.
Hi, how are you now? I have had a lymph node on both sides of my collarbone since 2 years, they have not grown but this month I touched them too much due to anxiety and the left one feels bigger than the right one, I've never had symptoms
Hm- Neck Lymph nodes feel swollen, but within that normal size range you are saying. I have been having major health anxiety lately because I keep blacking out, getting dizzy and light-headed, chest pains, and extremely exhausted, etc... Doctor told me it's just anxiety, but she ordered a few tests to rule out other things. Chest xray is normal. But my blood returned abnormal readings- low RBC, low WBC, high basophils, etc... So I have been researching and digging for info. And of course, doctor wasn't following up. I called and asked for a vitamin B12 test, and they never called. I figured that may be causing all of those symptoms and if so, I would like to start supplementing right away. I am so tired of the dizziness and exhaustion. Finding what I thought was s swollen lymph node did not help matters! I don't know where all this health anxiety and OCD is coming from. I never even go to the doctor. Maybe because acquaintances my age are getting cancer and having triple bypasses and brain tumors?
Thank's Cherelle for all your information, and you are right I'm just like you I was freaking and touching and poking all day long 24-7 to make sure that it was not growing, now I just try to leave it alone, Thank's again Cherelle.
I was diagnosed with a abnormal one today but mine is large and doesn't move as it's in the groin. and I thought I needed to start planning my funeral especially having children. I started to vomit I went into panic mode and just couldn't function all day. I decided to look it up on UA-cam and your video came up. I'm now waiting for my app with the hospital so they can look into it much further. Listening to you I must say I feel so much better mentally I just need to calm my anxiety down and hope for the best. I hope you are feeling much better. Thanks for your video help. God bless
Firstly, thank you all for asking on my progress. After a very stressful, exhausting, painful, thought provoking year, ultra scans, biopsy’s, PET scans, blood test, high dosage of radiation, back and forth to the hospital on a daily basis thankfully I am now in remission but still under the hospital’s care for 3 years to make sure my blood doesn’t carry an disease to start the cancer again. It was the scariest journey of my life, God willing I should be on the mend now 🤗
Im there right now, im from Michigan and I feeling for lymph nodes in neck and I keep pressing 24/7 and now my left side of neck is completely swollen and lymph node is swollen. Now my lymph node in neck is egg shaped under ear under jaw. My anxious way makes me keep playing with it. All goggle says is I have cancer! Ugh
@@RedSnow438 not mobile, I found one more swollen lymph nodes in collarbone yesterday and flipped out, I went to hospital today they ran blood work and everything came back normal and he doesn't think the collarbone is a swollen lymph nodes if it is he said it swollen small. The one on neck is about the size of tip of finger to 1st knuckle down doesn't seem to move. I have a ENT Appointment on March 16th
@@RedSnow438 I have a ultra sound this Wednesday coming up. I went to E.N.T few days ago. She said on one collarbone isn't a swollen lymph node. She didn't even really feel for any swollen nodes. I said what about this one on neck and she said that is a swollen gland not lymph node. I said I thought they are the same thing and then she ordered me to get ultrasound. She said my thyroid is alittle swollen and when I get ultrasound done to have them check that gland just to make sure is not bad. Lol I left more confused than when I went in. It made me more nervous her not taking it more seriously or I wonder if it's in me head. Maybe she downplayed it to make me not anymore nervous. Lol. Idk missy.. 😆
@@mooselightning8391 just try to stay calm, the ultrasound will show if it's benign, but i'm 100% sure it is, benign lymph nodes can stay there even for years, so don't worry :) let me know how the ultrasound goes
Sometimes i feel that i will die from my health anxiety. I have one lymphnode in my groin area around 1 cm (maybe less - i shave a lot) and one in my neck since August after a terrible cold i had for like a week. I've done an ultra sound, detailed blood work (for autoimmune diseases etc.), Ive been to 4 different doctors and each and every one of them said that I'm fine.. but i can't seem to let this go! I always check myself and find new lymph nodes everyyy single day. I haven't felt worse. I really do try but i feel like i have to get checked out again. P.S. i have no other symptoms of lymphoma and this is probably the most stressful year of my life (because of work, health anxiety etc.) To anyone that has ocd.. i feel you, i see you and im here struggling with you.. this us the worst battle I've ever had to fight! 🕊️❤️
In August I found a lymph node in my neck. It’s probably bean size ish (on the bigger side of a bean), quite hard and painless but smooth and movable. My doctor isn’t worried about it but I am since it hasn’t gone away and I didn’t have an infection. It hasn’t grown since then really. I’m going to see another doctor about it because it still scares me. Would you be concerned if that doctor also thinks it’s fine?
Xxx That’s a great question! So with cancer that has metastasised to the lymph nodes, they lymph nodes will still grow, perhaps not AS rapidly as lymphoma but lymph nodes that have cancer in them typically feel sting hard and don’t move, not even in the slightest. Since yours is moveable and smooth it sounds like it’s ok! However, if you aren’t sure on it’s size, you could also get referred for an ultrasound for clarification on its size and appearance! I know it helped me for sure. X
Xxx I’d still be concerned because I have health anxiety and everything concerns me 😂 I still get concerned even after biopsies! But I’m working on it!
Cherelle Thinks haha thanks for your help! I think it’s huge but my family thinks it’s smallish. Got a ruler out but was quite hard to keep the node still. I watched Greys Anatomy last night and a women had a mass in her neck and turned out to be thyroid cancer. So of course I googled my symptoms and I have pretty much all of them like usual (coughing, wheezing, loss of voice etc)🙃🙁 When I go back to the doctors, I’ll ask for an ultrasound and hopefully that fear will go away (but I’ll probably move on to the next not long after 😂).
John Paul Eldrick Labay it’s still there with no changes. I think I have a pea sized one further up and some on top of my collarbone which will get checked out soon (google isn’t the best place for collarbone ones).
As far as lymph nodes are concerned, if you don't have B symptoms, it's probably an infection. An inflamed lymph node is one thing, but B symptoms changes the picture. B symptoms are many. Severe night sweats, fever, chills; unusual itchy skin, and blood work would show a change in your white blood cell count.
got one behind my ear and after some months I could feel more in my neck, had no symptoms so o thaught that the lump was surely cancerous and spreading I got panicky and it took away nearly 9 months of my life from me . then I got an fna and was happy but soon found out that fnas cant diagnose slow growing lymphoma and again started to panic . also the one in my neck got a bit enlarged. FINALLY HAD MY BIOPSY DONE (EXISION) and the results are in (reactive lymphoid hyperplasia )aka reactive lymph node and guess what?I'm only 15 Google is a boon tho but if used rigorously can be harmful.
I can feel all the lymph nodes on my chest/collar bones area but they are super small... should I be concerned? They do hurt with some pressure too... I'm so scared...
Thank you so much. I was so scared for months, had such bad health anxiety that I hugged my girl and told her I loved her thinking I was going to die. It seems over dramatic but health anxiety is so heavy that it’s suffocating. This honestly helped so much.
So true man had this today
@suntzu6211 how are you?
@@our..friendd I’m fine, lymph nodes can be enlarged for any reason apparently - went in for an ultrasound for my neck and luckily no malignancy. Hope you’re doing well
@@suntzu6211 thank you! Just wanna add on, how long have your lymph nodes been swelling? And is it still there? I’m currently 12 rn and suffering from health anxiety rn lol
@@our..friendd ah for 3 years. Trust me at your age cancer is insanely rare. I’m 10 years older than you but most cancer cases are diagnosed in people in their 50s-80s. You haven’t been exposed to enough carcinogens trust me. Doubt you smoke 🤣
Your videos have helped me get a full night's sleep for the first time in over a week. Fair play to you for using your difficult experience to help people in a similar situation 🙏
Can’t thank you enough, you are a real life saver. Have had a lump behind my ear since November (approx. 5 months) and have been so worried I definitely suffer from hyper sensitivity. thank you!
You have literally calmed my nerves by at least 50% after watching this video. I have a what a doctor called reactive lymph node in my neck, said nothing to worry about but may be a sign of an infection and to to back in a month, said to rule out the C Word, naturally I didn't believe him because I am insane. So I google, I prod, I poke, I squeeze the thing until its doubled in size and I'm sat here in a ball of anxiety. It is so refreshing to listen to your video, and to read other comments, there are people like me out there. Thank you in all seriousness for your video, and to anyone who's spoke of their troubles. My god it helps.
Sir, how long it takes to cure lymph nodes in neck and any cautious if there?
In the same situation right now and have extremely bad health anxiety, I cant grasp why the doctor wants to see me in 6 weeks if she isn't worried about it, hope yours is OK now?
I came across this channel recently, November of 2022 I began to notice swollen lymph glands which I now accept were reactive. It was unusual as I had never felt them before in my entire 41 years of existence . I began to google what these lumps were and was given the worst diagnosis from my search result. As the days went on I was convinced I had Cancer. Ive never in my life been through such an ordeal as I put myself through. The fear was like nothing I had ever experienced. I went to A doctor and he examined me and said these are "reactive" Lymph nodes. It felt great the relief I felt on the journey home. Once I got home I was fine until I lay in bed that evening and began to think. I began feeling the lymph nodes and noticed my voice was getting a bit croaky. I then began to combine the Lymph Node search terms with my saw throat. Next thing I convinced myself I had neck Cancer. I didnt sleep for so long. At night time I began to feel fearful of going to sleep. This continued and I visited the doctor again and reported the new symptom of a saw throat. He examined me and said yes you likely have a cold and likely this may be causing your reactive lymph nodes. I felt temporary relief again but within hours i was back at it again googling my symptoms. I was all over WebMD like a mad thing furiously typing in search of what is causing my symptoms. This cycle went on for months. until around March time. I began to feel so exhausted by the worry that I felt tired all the time. I was adding tiredness as a new search term along with Lymph nodes. (By this time my cough had cleared up) The Cancers I thought I had were numerous. I visited the doctor again although this time he diagnosed me with health anxiety. I had never in my life given a second thought to my health why at 41. I never understood at the time. I made a promise to my self that I would stop googling symptoms. Its such an easy thing to say but doing it is incredibly hard, but I stuck to my promise. I began concentrating on my hobbie in hopes of turning it in to a job. I was so focused on this that before I knew it months had passed and I hadnt googled my symptoms once. 6 months after first noticing them my Lymph Glands began to dissipate. One remained shotty which is fine as i now know alot about shotty lymphs . Who ever needs to hear this. Take away from my experience is you have to starve the anxiety of any stimulus what so ever. Rule number 1 Do not google your symptoms. Rule number 2 Do not google your symptoms. You will never beat it unless you can get your head around the complete abdication of googling health symptoms or bodily sensations. If you want the nightmare to end you must starve the anxiety. Its completely beatable . Its not easy but its worth it to regain your sense of inner peace. You have to be willing to fight for it. First step is deleting all of your saved health searches. Next step Connect with someone friends or family. Take a trip out for lunch. Go out for a long walk in the country or even just a park. Every time you feel the urge to google ask yourself. Is there something more beneficial I can be putting this time in to. Perhaps taking up a new hobbie. Perhaps plan that trip you have been wanting to go on. The more you do this the stronger those neurological pathways to recovery become. You got this !
Hi Glynallen, thank you for this. May I know which side of the neck did you find your nodes? Can you still feel it now?
@@joreinerwidjaja1882 Hi there, They were on both sides of my neck towards the back intersecting with the shoulder. One of them has completely gone down the other is no longer reactive but its a shotty Lymph node so yea I still feel it a bit but only when I look for it. What symptoms you having If its not to forward of me to ask ? 🙏
Hello @@glynallen8914 thanks for replying 😊 I’ve noticed a lymph node for about 5 weeks now. On the side of my left neck. No other symptoms. I first noticed it while it was tender and a wee bit painful. It has gone down in size, but it hasn’t been fully gone, thus my anxiety. Checked with 2 GPs all said it’s normal, but this was about on the 1st and 3rd week. So wondering if I ought to check with a specialist (As you can tell this has been on my mind 😂)
@@joreinerwidjaja1882 😂 I can tell it sounds as though you might be focusing alot of attention on it. Im going to be honest. If your lymph glands were swollen because of something more serious they would have increased in size around every 3 to 4 weeks. Have it checked once more but consider this. Doctors train for 7 years before anyone will let them loose on a person. By the time a doctor is being let loose on other humans they will have seen quite a significant number of ailments. Learn to trust your doctor. By all means go see them again. What I did was I made a booking to see my GP every 6 weeks. I then told myself the day I see my GP is the only day I will think about it. If you are obsessing about it daily it wont ever go away. your mind will always focus on a perceived threat. Move that focus elsewhere for long enough and neurons in your brain will wire together and fire together as new habits are formed.
I’ve had a swollen lymph node in my neck for about 2-3 years. When I first found it I panicked so much and I remember finding this video and starting therapy. Thanks so much for this video it was so informative and really helped me rationalise x
Hey how are you doing!
Hi I’m great no health issues the lymph node is still there but never changed. The therapy really helped and I rarely have like massive worries about it now, I occasionally fall back into it but it often is just a passing thing. But yeah I’m really good and this video really did help me! :)
But honestly if you’re worried just have a trip to the doctor, truly it’s often nothing or something very mundane x
How you now, What is the size of lymph node , is it painful or painless, and how many you can feel , are skinny or you have any disease please tell
???
I'm having a biopsy on a lymph node in my armpit on Wednesday, and I'm nervous. This video really put my nerves at ease. Thank you.
Any update?
For me? No, not yet. Got pushed back to this next Wednesday due to COVID. 😑
Any update now??
For me? Yeah! It wasn't fun... He did like 8 passes, which means 8 different times I was stuck with the needle, then he aggressively poked the lymph node over and over to get the best samples... But I felt nothing and the staff was great and it was benign. Whew!
@@lindseyroberts4923 That's great! thanks for replying.
My god you are literally me. I’ve gone from thinking I had lymphoma to thinking my daughter does. I have been through all this. It’s so good to know I’m not the only one like this. Thank you so much for doing this xx
Did you ever have any pain with it
Thanks so much! You're a life saver! I've been worrying about a very small lymph node in my neck that's not even noticeable unless i feel it. I've no sign of infection, so it's unexplained. Keep thinking I've got lymphoma. The last few days have been a struggle, but you've helped me get through them. Thank you.
hey im in the situation as you pls tell me if its there or gone?
@p1xi3dust333 Mines is still here! Although it hasn't changed or grown at all so i believe its nothing serious. I also have no other underlying symptoms.
Google sometimes scares people when they search for symptoms
Exactly!

Thanks so much. I wish I had come across your post a couple of weeks ago. Anxiety is so hard. Your whole world focusses inward.

Anyway thanks again for doing the post.
I’ve been living a nightmare due to finding a lymph node in my neck, could of been there for years, I checked because I was worried about a mole and got in to my head it’s cancer and it’s spread. Then I found this lump and convinced myself I had stage 3/cancer. I started itching everywhere (in my mind). This video has made me feel so much better. Thank you
Hi how are you now did you find out what was causing the itching did you have an ultrasound

Amazing video ! Literally assured me with everything i wanted to hear , its so good to see someone with health anxiety speak up to reassure people. More people should do and help stop the edless google symptom checker
I am so grateful I came across your video. My anxiety has been building due to small lymph nodes I can feel in my neck. It would freak me out to a point where I didn’t want to check my neck and discover changes, but at the same time I was obsessive about it and sometimes couldn’t stop touching my neck - felt like I was going crazy! My husband keeps saying it’s nothing, he is so confident and I wish I felt that confidence. But your video has really helped me! Thanks G

This is literally my mind in a different body. I have a hard bump right in front of my ear and some ear pain. I’ve had three panic attacks in the past week because of everything I keep reading online. And it’s getting in the way because I’m just always googling everything. Since COVID-19 all the doctors are busy so I’ve been waiting a month I get an ENT appointment so all I do is worry. Which of course my anxiety causes stomach issues, sinus irritation, palpitations, headaches. That makes me think it’s spread to other parts of my body. I also get worried, because I hear about all these stories of doctors not listening to women or ignoring their symptoms. I totally understand y’alls worry. If you are worried just talk to a doctor, DO NOT GOOGLE ANYTHING. (I honestly google something at least once or twice a day for reassurance and it never works.). Just take a breath. You’ll be okay :).
now that is my mind in some other body tbvh :)) thanks to you too. I do the same shit googling all day and getting pannick attacks.
I have literally been stressing every single day for the last Two years, glad to relate to at least someone
Thank you so much. Ive been anxious about discovering one in my neck. I've been panicky and at times found myself staring somewhere. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Hope mine is nothing serious. The good thing is you help me deal with my anxiety and stress. ❤

You really relieved my anxiety. I think i can have a good day now. Thank you so much!!! Also, you're beautiful.
Hi! A UA-camr named Benji made a video about your water allergen so get ready for the comments!
Nothinol Oh thanks for the heads up!
Also, anyone with immune diseases like fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Epstein Barr Virus (98% of us have this virus), etc. can develop swollen nodes. Also, stress can trigger swelling. These are not deadly conditions, some are just chronic illnesses that cause swollen lymph nodes. Cancer is very rare when it comes to lymph nodes. Just relax and get checked for your own peace of mind, but know you are most likely fine. Smile :)
I had viral infection where I got fever and joints pain. After 3/4 days my lymph nodes swell in all possible areas. I am literally worried
@@jahnavimehta your lymphnode is fully goway... Which size lymphnode...
genuinely thank you so much. i’m incredibly worried that i may have lymphoma and i just can’t wrap my head around it. i know how unlikely it is but im still convinced i may have it, my anxiety is through the roof just at the constant thought of having it… anxiety is horrible.
I can relate to the beginning of this story!! I’m loosing my mind to why I feel my lymph node
This has been me for the past month googling things and then googling other things from my groin lymph node thinking it was so big and you’re helping me realize it’s not
Sitting here thinking I have cancer and looking up all the different symptoms of those cancers and then sitting there asking myself if I feel lethargic
Also this worry has screwed up my appetite and then I read about the appetite thing
Health anxiety is so real and I never realized how real it is until my groin lymph node was more noticeable than usual
This video helped me a lot
And now since I searched lymphoma now my phone keeps shooting ads for lymphoma treatment at me 😢
I wish you the best, I am in the same boat right now. How are you getting on? My lymph node under my arm is swollen and as well I’ve got a random lump on my chest near my sternum. I’ve convinced I have cancer and I can’t eat or think about anything else. Health anxiety is the worst, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.
@@michelleelizabeth3317 have you gone to see a doctor? I finally went to see a doctor and the doctor understood my concerns because the lump was exactly where the lymph node is but it wasn’t my lymph node
Not getting it checked caused more issues than anything. It gave me anxiety, made me lose my appetite, consumed my mind every day
But after I got it checked I felt a wave of relief come over me and my appetite was back
Our mind is super powerful it can convince us of things that aren’t real
My advice is if you’re concerned go get it checked
You can create symptoms in yourself by thinking about it
From now on if I think somethings wrong I’m going to get it checked because I put myself through so much stress and anxiety for weeks because I diagnosed myself
Prayers going out for you and hoping you go get it checked and everything is ok 🙏

You’ve really helped me so much. I’ve had a swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck for 3/4 months now. I had 2 courses of anti biotic which I waited 2 weeks in the space of those until it went down. However it hasn’t gone down, I got blood tests and the doctor told me I’m fine nothing has come up and it’s all clear, he also felt it too. He’s booked me a ultra sound for some peace of mind as he knows I’m a hypochondriac. I’m still panicking daily as I’m still concerned incase it’s something bad as I’m getting ear pain that side and also pain in my head as I have a lump on the back of my head that side, I’ve had this lump again for 3-5 months it’s not grown so could possibly be a gland. Just hoping the ultra sound is ok and the glands go because I’m sooo scared it’s something bad!
Hey! How did your ultrasound go?
mia galilea hey! The doctor said it looked normal and haven’t had my results which means it’s ok! Keep getting pain though so still kinda worried but hopefully it’s nothing, thank you ❤️xxx
I am in this same boat. Antibiotics helped alot but did not solve the issue as my nodes are still present amd painful. Stressed!
Sherece Allen yes mine is still up and I wrote this 2 months ago! I’m guessing reactive nodes. I’m trying to not get too stressed xx
Lucy Ledgeway it’s actually very normal for it to stay swollen permanently after an ear/nasal/scalp or whatever infection, and as long as you have no other symptoms, you should leave it alone resting there by itself, i would not fret about it 👁
I’m really scared and I’m only 13 I think I have health anxiety cause I would google everything Nd I try to help my self but it feels like a never ending nightmare sometimes I ask myself why is my life like this..Nd I hate tht feeling...💔
Im the same..
don't Google your symptoms please 😢
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday…. I found a bean sized/shaped one in my groin yesterday..only on left side.. freaked me out…. Listening to this has eased my mind…. But … I am trusting my soul to Jesus anyway.. so… I just don’t want to be a burden to anyone and I want to ride my motorcycle this coming season…April ish..
How are you?
I've had a hard lymph node behind my ear for 2 years around 1cm in diameter, zero symptoms, but I've been conviced I have lymphoma for the last few weeks. Getting a biopsy next week, wishing the best for myself and anyone else with health anxiety!
If it's been 2 years, and hasn't grown it's normal, for peace of your mind you can go for biopsy
@@Bunny-vs8kq Went for the biopsy appointment. they gave me an ultrasound and told me I didn't need a biopsy because it looked safe from the ultrasound. I don't have cancer :D
I think my end is near , started itching everywhere,
@@Bunny-vs8kqhave you visited a doctor?
Your channel is helping me so much you cant even imagine how much !
I'm so glad!!
I feel a little better after watching this. Thank you. Going tomorrow for my armpit lymph node biopsy.
Update: biopsy came back negative. Not cancerous. It was a calcified adipose lymph node.
Advice: whenever you feel any swelling around your breast or armpit (axilla) area, consult your physician.
Thanks 🙏
@@bulkyxena5309 So happy for you!
@@anap.9145 thanks sis
@@bulkyxena5309 hey how did that calcified lymph node feel?
@@brxtsie ❤️❤️ thanks for reaching out. To be honest, I felt no pain, nothing. They found that from the mammogram I did. and also on ultrasound. But after the biopsy, they said it was just a normal tissue. I was more than happy.
Im so glad i found you. I want to cry. Im so terrified of lymph nodes. I have a lot of swelling and pressure on my groins and hips. I feel like very uncomfortable but i cannot find swollen lymph notes. Im thinking the worse and Im afraid to go see a doctor.
I’m glad you’re here too. I hope you feel better by knowing that there are so many of us here that have been through this worry and it’s all turned out to be absolutely fine. 🫶🏽
@@cherellethinks I have one under my armpit it’s hard and a little big any advice I am really nervous 😭
I'm not kidding - this video saved me. I have severe healthy anxiety and, upon finding an almond-shaped, almond-sized lymph node behind my jaw/under my ear, I freaked out. I literally could (and can) not stop thinking I have lymphoma, because it feels very firm and not movable, which was also terrifying. Now that you mention it, there really is nowhere else for it to move, as it's under the skin and pressed against muscle, tendons and obviously my jaw bone. I'm still going to see the hematologist because there is still a possibility that it's something sinister, but fingers crossed it's not. Anyways, thank you so much for this video, it definitely did calm me down a lot and I feel like I can breathe until my actual appointment, which is next tuesday (21/12). Fingers crossed!
Hey how are u feeling now and how was the appointment?
How was you appointment? Your the 1st person I seen that has the exact same thing as me. I called it egg shape but almond is perfect. Plz contact me back. Hope all is well
@@mooselightning8391 Hello! 🖤 Writing back to inform you that it was nothing sinister! My tonsillar lymph node was, indeed, slightly enlarged, but it was nothing but a shotty lymph node. By that, from what I understood after going to the doctor, it just means that the lymph node failed to return to its original size/shape due to this one recurrent infection I had (sinusitis & otitis). The doctor I went to also explained that the tonsillar lymph node, which is the one behind the jaw/under the ear is one of the largest ones and usually not movable/superficial because it's located between muscles and tendons, and also because it's one of the deep cervix lymph nodes. Still, if you're too worried about it, I'd recommend looking into it - just for some peace of mind. It's probably nothing, though, as many people have naturally palpable tonsillar lymph nopes. Take care!
Your node size plz.... Are you ok.... Its hard or moveble plz reply
hey I have the same thing, can you please update us?
Interesting. Im 74. Had swelling off and sometimes accompanied with pain. Had problems with my thyroid gland all my life. But never gave much thought about lymph nodes. Thanks.🙂
Health anxiety disorder is so baad.
Absolutely
Thank alot
Yea😫
I have a swollen lymph node I am really scared
It's the absolute worst
Thank so much for this video. Like you I have health anxiety and this vid has given me such a feeling of relief because you actually got answers from your doctors that people like me are searching for online and cannot find. There was one thing though. I have a sore lymph for a few weeks but no lumps. I need to see if my doc can explain that
Thank you Jesus!!!! 🙏
2.6 - 3.0 cm lymph nodes in groin for past 6 weeks +. Nowehere else in the body, no symptoms. Going for CAT scan today, biopsy tomorrow. Freaking out, naturally
@seingboutique how are you? Hope everything is fine!
Everything A OK. Mostly likely a reaction to a very light bout of diverticulitis
Thanks for following up ❤
@@swingboutiquehey, i also have lump in my groin about 2.5cm.. Sonologist says it's a swollen lymph node but I'm worried.. how's your now ?? Is it gone?
I’m so happy I found your video, I’ve been crying and googling all morning because I woke up with a swollen lymph node in my armpit. This really eased my anxiety
Any update
@@caonimaaacao2682 yes it was just a side effect of my covid vaccine. The lymph node went away after few weeks. I did go see my OB and did an exam and breast ultrasound and everything came back clear. Thank god- I’m now on medication and in therapy to deal with my anxiety 💗
Wow im happy for u i just got mine last night under my left and jaw then suddenly i check on my right then i felt one moving like a pea been smoking for 6 years im freaking out and just been reading comments
@@caonimaaacao2682 I know it can be scary but most of the time it’s just your body fighting off something- pea sized is not considered swollen by the way. If you go searching for lymph nodes you’ll always find them. I know it’s hard not to do but I’m sure you’re fine if it’s that small
I felt sick and fatigued after finding it out yesterday is that normal? im freaking out cant barely sleep
I love your content, thank you for being so transparent...seriously. I giggle here and there because I partook in similar behaviors.
It's 3am now and I can't even sleep beacause of my health anxiety.. and this video omgs you saved my life
I also couldn't believe what the doctor said that it is fine but most of the symptoms that descrived on the internet said that if ur lymph nodes are unmovable and not painful at all it could be the cancer. And that terrified me a lot and I even cried relief now thank you so much
Im messing with mine now i have to stop hope it goes away im lots neck and teeth problems and saw throtes everything is in my neck im so fed up. Im greatful for your video youtube should give millions of likes
Who’s from Benji?
Cole Dustin me lol
I have a hard, swollen inguinal lymph node right now. Doctor checked and said that’s what it was - I have blood work scheduled this Sunday and an ultrasound scheduled for 2 weeks from now 😢
How did it go?
@@bferrell1797 well, the inguinal lymph node went down. I have another in my neck that was checked and is just “reactive…”
However, I did find a lump in my left breast not too long after and just had it plus a few axillary lymph nodes under both armpits biopsied… still waiting for the results 😓
@@bferrell1797 my bloodwork was normal, they also did a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and checked for tumor markers (all normal but, you can still have cancer with normal tumor markers so, testing for them isn’t super reliable).
This was very helpful, I felt one around my neck and I was so worried, it's really small and even the doctor said there's nothing to be worried about, still I was worried sick. This helped me a lot. Google is the worst in these cases.
How are you doing? Is your lymph node still swollen?
@@mckaylah4539 yeah. I got it biopised and the result said it's fine. I am still worried and having homeopathic treatment now.
@@parthasarathighosh4717 how big is it? I'm glad it's nothing sinister!
@@mckaylah4539 it's like a fingertip
I developed 2 on my groin due to an ingrown that turned into a cyst. Seeing what a swollen lymph node compared to a small one I can feel should ease my anxiety but I can't stop thinking about it.
Thank you so much for this helpful video, recently I had a severe ear infection and it swelled up my lymph nodes in my neck I also got more scared about my lymph nodes because my cousin was recently diagnosed with lymphoma but I was told by 3 doctors that this was normal because I had an ear infection but because I googled I got scary results and then for the past 3 weeks I’ve been feeling and checking my neck and found multiple little bumps in my neck and I have been checking my neck up to 6 times or even more a day and it’s been super stressful and I’ve cried for days thinking the worst as my family and friends think I’ve gone crazy. But this video has actually made me feel a lot better and not alone.
How are you doing? Did you get to the bottom of whats going on?
Really important and super under reported piece you covered. If you are 15-35 even 40, and you have had chronic lymphnode swelling it is very rare for those nodes not to be very large/aggressive over a year or so. Remember out of all chronic lymph edema cases under 40 only .4 percent are cancerous.
This information is also derived from google 😐
@@Shubham-wi7zt 😂😂😂😂
thank you ... your words are anxiety killler ❤️
You cant always feel them. I have one that doesn't feel very big scan shows that one is almost an inch short axis. 3 others that only scans show. I cant feel them in my neck. With in 3 months fatty hila is only a small amount vs the scan done 3 months prior that showed normal fatty hila.
Would you say that's normal? 🤔
You just saved my life 👑 queen 💖. I just have a normal lymph node on my right side of the neck and it's smooth and high in mobility love you ❤️😊
So happy I found this video. Feeling a bit less anxious now. Thank you!
Im so frightned , the only way i will be convinced is with a biopsy 😢
Your so right about the ocd part and touching it :(
I had this fear about over 4 years ago when I had my 1st child I have one at the side of my neck has been there a long time has never went away so my worries went away, then I had my other child 4 months ago an now it’s back n I keep checking again same worries
For me my lymph swollen like every month and it hurts so bad, I don’t know does it has a relations with my period maybe ? Then it goes and it comes back again .. on my neck back of my head , armpits… this it actually started since 2 years , if someone has something like me help please, it’s hard to live with health anxiety disorder 😢
What about the ones that you can see when your crank your neck a certain way? I have one below my ear that’s like that when I extend my neck muscles on my right side. I got it checked by my doc but i’m still scared about it.
Same bro how are you now?
Mick Jagger very good tbh, got checked again and I’ve been cleared! Working on my anxiety the best way possible
I felt like my arm had a ball under it and felt around found a swollen lymphnode and it was around the time my period was due and started my period now my period is almost over and the thing went down and it’s no where near as big as it was and I talked to my mom (a nurse) and she said it could be my period with hormonal things and I have bad health anxiety and thought I had cancer but now it’s gone I think I’m okay!!
My health anxiety is absolutely horrific atm. I’ve got a small one just behind my ear. It’s freaking me out!
Hello dear, but if you are feeling globus sensation, tho I think I've had an infection and also I do read a lot on quora, and they will say they had these things, and then they later figure out they had lymphoma and maybe lung cancer, why is it like that? Do you think the world is changing or what? Because I don't know.
Please If you see my message kindly reply me please🙏🙏🙏🙏😢
I have lymph node under my left jaw..it's dimension is 1.2*0.5cm.ENT Doctor told me it was fine.may be because danruff and pimple on face also causes lymph nodes to swell.later on I feel itching all over my body.i feel like so anxiety about itching
Kya hua aap thik hue
I just found this video. I have the exact same issue with groin lymph nodes. I've also done the Google Black hole and constant worry. I've had an ultrasound, and everything came back normal except it being reactive, but within the normal size range. Hasn't changed in size over the last year, except when I constantly touch it and gets swollen. Thank you for this video.
oh my god!! I suffer from health anxiety, i’ve got a swollen lymph node in my neck for about 2 months now and i poke and prod it and due to covid the docs won’t see me!!! You have saved my life, i can sleep at night now !
Sameee
Did it go away? If yes,how long did it take?
@@viji9729 I have had mine for 3 months now,same size not changing in size but not going away
@@nikkyshairades9078 Oh hello! Thank you for your reply♥️. I am completely fine now. It just vanished after a period of time.
I have a lot of palpable lymphnodes! I have one just in front of my ear which moves over my jawjoint when i open my mouth. Very movible i guess? Sometimes i ever hear it rolling over my joint and it sucks.. I just read a article about a man who got a rash due to lymphoma.. That night i literally found a rash. Like colorless little bumps on my arm.
I'm having two nodes on neck (one on left side and one on right side)both is kinda pea/almond shaped!!also I have lumps behind ears and back of head!! Im scared that I have some kind of cancer🥺 Literally my brain is telling me that I have lymphoma,brain tumor,oral cancer....idk does anyone know about this?? please reply
God delivered me from health anxieties today! And what a coincidence I see this video on my feed
I’m going through this exact thing and have my doctors appointment tomorrow! This has grounded me so much thankyou thankyou!!!!
I have an ultrasound tomorrow. I would love to know how your doctor appointment goes. Best of luck
@@kylenotellin5938 I did several ultrasounds and biopsy yesterday. The ultrasound looked good though. Maybe you will get a hunch tomorrow from the tech even though they aren’t allowed to really say anything so DONT get worried if they don’t. Results should come back fast. I’ll be hoping everything goes smooth tomorrow and soon your mind will be put at ease. All my ultrasounds were smooth and I got results within a couple days I believe.
Good luck 💛. I hope after your appointment tomorrow you will have a piece of mind. I know this is one of the scariest times I’ve been though and it’s hard not to worry but it could be nothing at all! Either way your getting checked out so you will feel so much better talking to a dr and knowing what’s going on so you know what to do or not do next. Everything will be okay!
You got this!!!
@@kylenotellin5938 how is your ultrasound
Any update?
Had a lymph node grow to about 5 cm fo 2 years on left side of neck. Biopsy came back as squomous cell carcinoma. Treatment options such as surgery,,radiation and chemo have major side effects and risks. Stuck on the threshold of indecisiveness.
Just want to share from experience, that after getting the covid vaccine, my lymph nodes around my clavicle felt a bit enlarged and they never went down in size. So, if after vaccination, you feel them, please don't freak out.
Hi, how are you now? I have had a lymph node on both sides of my collarbone since 2 years, they have not grown but this month I touched them too much due to anxiety and the left one feels bigger than the right one, I've never had symptoms
Hm- Neck Lymph nodes feel swollen, but within that normal size range you are saying. I have been having major health anxiety lately because I keep blacking out, getting dizzy and light-headed, chest pains, and extremely exhausted, etc... Doctor told me it's just anxiety, but she ordered a few tests to rule out other things. Chest xray is normal. But my blood returned abnormal readings- low RBC, low WBC, high basophils, etc... So I have been researching and digging for info. And of course, doctor wasn't following up. I called and asked for a vitamin B12 test, and they never called. I figured that may be causing all of those symptoms and if so, I would like to start supplementing right away. I am so tired of the dizziness and exhaustion. Finding what I thought was s swollen lymph node did not help matters! I don't know where all this health anxiety and OCD is coming from. I never even go to the doctor. Maybe because acquaintances my age are getting cancer and having triple bypasses and brain tumors?
Are you fine now
Thank's Cherelle for all your information, and you are right I'm just like you I was freaking and touching and poking all day long 24-7 to make sure that it was not growing, now I just try to leave it alone, Thank's again Cherelle.
To Eddie Lanz: How are you now? What did your doctor say?
I don’t know why sweetheart in your personal life you looks like very good person and kind towards about another people.
A guy named Benji made a video on you. Hope his exposure makes your channel grow even more and i hope you can make something out of it.
susio Thanks so much. I just had a watch! :)
The fact this got 77k views shows you how concerned people were of their lymph nodes.
I was diagnosed with a abnormal one today but mine is large and doesn't move as it's in the groin. and I thought I needed to start planning my funeral especially having children. I started to vomit I went into panic mode and just couldn't function all day. I decided to look it up on UA-cam and your video came up. I'm now waiting for my app with the hospital so they can look into it much further. Listening to you I must say I feel so much better mentally I just need to calm my anxiety down and hope for the best. I hope you are feeling much better. Thanks for your video help. God bless
How did it go
How was your appointment? I hope all is well
Hi, how are you?
How are you doing now?
Firstly, thank you all for asking on my progress. After a very stressful, exhausting, painful, thought provoking year, ultra scans, biopsy’s, PET scans, blood test, high dosage of radiation, back and forth to the hospital on a daily basis thankfully I am now in remission but still under the hospital’s care for 3 years to make sure my blood doesn’t carry an disease to start the cancer again. It was the scariest journey of my life, God willing I should be on the mend now 🤗
Im there right now, im from Michigan and I feeling for lymph nodes in neck and I keep pressing 24/7 and now my left side of neck is completely swollen and lymph node is swollen. Now my lymph node in neck is egg shaped under ear under jaw. My anxious way makes me keep playing with it. All goggle says is I have cancer! Ugh
Hi, did you have an echo done? What are the dimensions of the lymph node? Is it mobile?
@@RedSnow438 not mobile, I found one more swollen lymph nodes in collarbone yesterday and flipped out, I went to hospital today they ran blood work and everything came back normal and he doesn't think the collarbone is a swollen lymph nodes if it is he said it swollen small.

@@mooselightning8391 you should do an ultrasound to figure out whether the lymoph node is benign or not
@@RedSnow438 I have a ultra sound this Wednesday coming up. I went to E.N.T few days ago. She said on one collarbone isn't a swollen lymph node. She didn't even really feel for any swollen nodes. I said what about this one on neck and she said that is a swollen gland not lymph node. I said I thought they are the same thing and then she ordered me to get ultrasound. She said my thyroid is alittle swollen and when I get ultrasound done to have them check that gland just to make sure is not bad. Lol
I left more confused than when I went in. It made me more nervous her not taking it more seriously or I wonder if it's in me head. Maybe she downplayed it to make me not anymore nervous. Lol. Idk missy.. 😆
@@mooselightning8391 just try to stay calm, the ultrasound will show if it's benign, but i'm 100% sure it is, benign lymph nodes can stay there even for years, so don't worry :) let me know how the ultrasound goes
Thank you so much,, Google almost killed my vibe. I didn't sleep the whole night😔😔
@@prettygirl8552 I'm doing quite well...but I just found out it had something to do with a particular sickness😔
Sometimes i feel that i will die from my health anxiety. I have one lymphnode in my groin area around 1 cm (maybe less - i shave a lot) and one in my neck since August after a terrible cold i had for like a week. I've done an ultra sound, detailed blood work (for autoimmune diseases etc.), Ive been to 4 different doctors and each and every one of them said that I'm fine.. but i can't seem to let this go! I always check myself and find new lymph nodes everyyy single day. I haven't felt worse. I really do try but i feel like i have to get checked out again.
P.S. i have no other symptoms of lymphoma and this is probably the most stressful year of my life (because of work, health anxiety etc.)
To anyone that has ocd.. i feel you, i see you and im here struggling with you.. this us the worst battle I've ever had to fight! 🕊️❤️
In August I found a lymph node in my neck. It’s probably bean size ish (on the bigger side of a bean), quite hard and painless but smooth and movable. My doctor isn’t worried about it but I am since it hasn’t gone away and I didn’t have an infection. It hasn’t grown since then really. I’m going to see another doctor about it because it still scares me. Would you be concerned if that doctor also thinks it’s fine?
Xxx That’s a great question! So with cancer that has metastasised to the lymph nodes, they lymph nodes will still grow, perhaps not AS rapidly as lymphoma but lymph nodes that have cancer in them typically feel sting hard and don’t move, not even in the slightest. Since yours is moveable and smooth it sounds like it’s ok! However, if you aren’t sure on it’s size, you could also get referred for an ultrasound for clarification on its size and appearance! I know it helped me for sure. X
Xxx I’d still be concerned because I have health anxiety and everything concerns me 😂 I still get concerned even after biopsies! But I’m working on it!
Cherelle Thinks haha thanks for your help! I think it’s huge but my family thinks it’s smallish. Got a ruler out but was quite hard to keep the node still. I watched Greys Anatomy last night and a women had a mass in her neck and turned out to be thyroid cancer. So of course I googled my symptoms and I have pretty much all of them like usual (coughing, wheezing, loss of voice etc)🙃🙁 When I go back to the doctors, I’ll ask for an ultrasound and hopefully that fear will go away (but I’ll probably move on to the next not long after 😂).
@@norainnoflowers1557 how are u now? any update? because i also have a lump on my neck about the size of a bean
John Paul Eldrick Labay it’s still there with no changes. I think I have a pea sized one further up and some on top of my collarbone which will get checked out soon (google isn’t the best place for collarbone ones).
As far as lymph nodes are concerned, if you don't have B symptoms, it's probably an infection. An inflamed lymph node is one thing, but B symptoms changes the picture.
B symptoms are many. Severe night sweats, fever, chills; unusual itchy skin, and blood work would show a change in your white blood cell count.
got one behind my ear and after some months I could feel more in my neck, had no symptoms so o thaught that the lump was surely cancerous and spreading I got panicky and it took away nearly 9 months of my life from me . then I got an fna and was happy but soon found out that fnas cant diagnose slow growing lymphoma and again started to panic . also the one in my neck got a bit enlarged. FINALLY HAD MY BIOPSY DONE (EXISION) and the results are in (reactive lymphoid hyperplasia )aka reactive lymph node and guess what?I'm only 15 Google is a boon tho but if used rigorously can be harmful.
are u still ok now?
How are you
How r u???? Yr results are good
What type of bean are you referring to? Kidney beans?
I can feel all the lymph nodes on my chest/collar bones area but they are super small... should I be concerned? They do hurt with some pressure too... I'm so scared...
