Yes, it has a sensation of "fullness" or "heaviness" and I think it looks a little puffy. But according to the ENT the lymph nodes are not swollen. They are 1cm. The puffiness is also above my clavicle (the ENT said that is a fat pad)

It doesn't really hurt and isn't really tender, but I am aware of it and it is a different feeling- just uncomfortable. This is only on my left side.

Sound familar?

Yes, my left ear started to hurt bad and then I got a feeling of fullness in my ear and down the left side of my jaw. Also, sometimes into my neck. I also felt a bump on the front side of my left ear. I went to my ENT and he seems to think it is associated with TMJ. He was not concerned with the bump because it is less than 1 cm.
What are you suppose to do about the fullness?

I don't know... I was so excited I didn't have lymphoma. The ENT kinda implied that it was all normal... but some other dr's could dx me with Chronic fatigue or Fibromyalgia.
I have been racking my brain. I have had some weird pain followed by slight swelling. Almost like a spasm in my neck. I am thinking that is what is is- a muscle problem

I had extensive cosmetic denistry done a year ago- complete with jaw TENsing to somewhat help correct an underbite. I am now thinking that I may need to get RE-tensed.

I am calling my dentist today to inquire about the possiblity of that causing the problem. Doesn't really explain the fever, but perhaps they aren't related at all.

I would follow up with you dentist, however do not rule out stress and anxiety as causes of your pain and fevers, as crazy as that sounds it can actually happen, trust me when I thought I had lymphoma and was reading about the symptoms, I had almost evryone of them because it was stuck in my mind...sometimes our minds are our worst enemies!
