Hello,
I was wondering if someone could please help me with any advice on symptoms and what to do next?
I'm a 26 year old male and Earlier this year around feb I started to have some sharp shooting pains every now and again around the front and sides of my neck and thought nothing of it and suspected it was to do with going to the gym. Around April and may I also started to have constant achey/sharp pains towards the arm pits of both pecs and once again thought it was muscular so I stopped exercising and these pains didn't cease so I went to the drs and they said it was muscle related and gave me so naxproxen and the problem still didn't go away.
About a month after that while the other pains persisted i started to get horrendous headaches at the back of my head and started to feel 2 hard painful kidney bean sized lumps either side of the back of skull where near the top of the neck and these have changed in size and pain ever since.
In the end I started also get very bad pain around the base of neck and under the collar bone which then I started to noticed that all these pain areas you could feel what I know no to be lymph nodes some hard some soft. I went back to the drs and they said they felt normal but did a head and neck mri, lots of blood tests and liver and spleen scan any everything is normal and have played the whole thing off as anxiety. As the months go on this problem seems to be getting worse and I'm getting aches and pains every day in my joints and lots of pain in groin and seems to be worse after drinking alcohol, I feel like I'm going mad and everyone just thinks I'm being dramatic I really am at breaking point it's a struggle to to keep going.
Any advice and help would be appreciated thank you
so much for reading!
Alex
