Hi, I m new to this. I have some questions though. For going on 4 months now, I have had a swollen node on the left side of my neck. I am to have a biospy tomorrow to find out what it could be. But whenever I looked on the internet for info, all that would come up was either children and infections or cancer. I have talked to a few people also and they have asked me some questions about what all I was experiencing. Along with the swollen node
I have had on and off fevers that don't usually get above 100, I have like a tinging sort of feeling in my hands and feet and sometimes in my lips, I itch but not too badly, I have had a this pain in my chest, right above the bottom of my rib cage, and when I feel on it, I know that it isn't a rib, because it is only firm and round, not hard. I get sweats at night, I have to have a fan blowing on me, everynight, even when it is cold, but I don't sweat that much. And then I get sometimes these sharp pains in my arms, hands, and legs and feet, and those are off and on also. Another things is that whenever I walk upstairs or anything that is higher in elevation than the ground, I get to where it is hard for me to breath, but whenever I am doing anything else I am fine.
The last problem I have is that it is hard for me to swallow sometimes, because I get to where it feels like there is something in my lower throat, but no matter how much I try to get whatever it is out, nothing helps it. I know that swollen nodes means there is a infection somewhere, but the one tht I have has been there and I have had no infections. If anyone can help or give a little insight please help. Thank you.
