Lump on head, neck, and ear. Posted: 06-04-08 03:58am
Hello!
About a month ago I started getting these
lumps.
*A golf ball sized lump at the the back of
my head right in the
middle between the back of my head to my
right ear.
*A pea sized lump on my right ear behind
my ear lobe.
*Three lumps on the right of the neck (two
closer together and one
and inch below the two lumps). At first it
was a size of a pea then got
swollen to a size of marbles and
currently, it is getting smaller.
*One big lump on the right side of my neck
where it meets my clavicle
bone.
These all seem to connect like a line,
probably my lymph nodes.
The first time I noticed them, they didn't
hurt, they are not fixed,
they can move around.
After a few days, they started swelling
(every lump).
It hurt and was uncomfortable, even my
neck muscles hurt when I
turned my head or touched them.
I am not sure if I have some sort of
tuberculosis.
I remember having a huge huge steak feast
that was undercooked
before I noticed the lumps.
Currently, my lumps got smaller and don't
even hurt when I touch
them but the one on my head is still big
and hurts a bit to the touch.
I do not have mono, I don't feel any
symptoms from these lumps.
i'm just wondering what this may be / what
causes this / is it a
serious problem?
I'm still waiting to see if it will get
any smaller and hope it will disappear.
If not, then i'll go to the doctor.
If you have any idea about this, please
let me know, thank you very
much!

The most common cause of swollen lymph
nodes is infection.
When infection is the cause lymph nodes
usually are sore or painful on touch and
movable.
Swollen lymph nodes may also be caused by
some medication.
Do you take some?
Do you have other symptoms, (ear pain sore
throat, abscessed or impacted tooth,
allergy symptoms), too?
How old are you?
