Scared

Hi there 

I dont know if anyone is able to help put my mind at ease.. I'm 24 and for the last 3 weeks I've had a tiny pea sized lump on the back of my neck.

I've been to the doctors and they told me it's not concerning. It's not got bigger nor smaller but it's just there and the last week or so I've been feeling very run down and achey.

 

Is this concerning? I cant help but worry. 

  • Hi Worrier, 

    It's good you've been to the doctors about this lump although I'm sorry for the worries that are still playing on your mind.

    You could go back and get a second opinion if you have more than one doctor at your GP surgery, but in the meantime try to remind yourself of what the doctor has already told you when you find your worries are getting the better of you.

    Kind regards,
