I also had tb in my lymph nodes. 3 months after giving birth, I noticed a lump on my left side of the neck. It started out with just pain on my neck, then the next day, there was a big lump on it. I waited 2 weeks for it to disappear. Nothing happened, so I went to see an ent. He then recommended a biopsy and a ct scan. Then later referred me to a infectious doctor. I was on drugs for like 8 months. It is crazy especially the first 2 months. I was taking 10 pills everyday m-f.

The lump that I had on my neck was huge. It used to be hard. After a few months on meds, it became kind of liquidy inside like water. When it was getting smaller it popped and liquid came out. This happened during the summer '05. Now it looks like a hole in my skin with some white stuff (probably pus) in it. It is taking a long time for it to heal. The ent said to just clean out with hydroperoxide and neospirin and cover it up with band aid.

I had a ct scan done on my neck because of the lump. And it showed some enlarged lymph nodes that goes down to my lungs. So my doctor ordered a ct scan of my lungs and it showed that I had scar tissues on my lung. At some point I had tb in my lungs I guess but I never knew about it and so it spread to my lymph nodes. In a way, it's good that I had this lump. It was my warning sign to see a doctor.

I have got a hole on my shoulder are after one of the lumps took over it was huge I could not even move my head to the right hand side.. They had to inject it to get all the stuff out.. I also had one on my back and one on my chest. So three in total. this was in 2006 .. Every year since then I have been getting these strange lumps , I just checked now and Ive got one spreading across my chest damn it! Time for another visit to the docs. P.s I was on 14 tablets a day so ha I beat u lol

I had a huge lump due to Lympathic TB in 1980,
it was about 4-5" long and wide. It did eventually go away but it took a long time months. If the Dr. diagnosed you with TB, right away you were fortunate I had it a long time ago and I was really sick w/ it I was in the hospital for a month and a half.
