Recently I noticed one night (about 2 days
ago) the one of my lymph nodes right above
my collar bone became swollen and is about
1.5 cm in size and has a firm yet sort of
rubbery texture to it. I can move it
around just a little bit and I don't think
it's attached to the skin. I looked online
for what the cause could possibly be and
found a very long range of conditions from
cancer, to parasites, to abdominal
infections.
I think it should also be known that about
a month ago I was having issues with bowel
movements (constipation) and got a Thyroid
test which came out well and all I had to
do was up my fiber intake and everything
went back to normal. Perhaps this could be
a cause of this?
Anyway, if someone cold respond to this
with any advice or what they think i'd
really appreciate it.
Have a nice day,
Chris

I should also mention I had a very very
mild cold for about 2 weeks before i
noticed this and since I have noticed no
longer really exists.

Hi Chris, For peace of mind, I'd see your
primary care physican. Swollen lymph nodes
can be from a number of things, infection
being one. You mentioned you had a mild
cold earlier, this could be related, but
until a doctor confirms this, you won't
know. I have learned when something isn't
quiet right or I am questioning it, take
my old ass to the doctor to find out, its
like when you get a tooth ache and you
keep on waiting until it hurts so bad, a
trip to the dentist sounds fun! Its alwasy
better to be safe than sorry and f this
should be something other than temporary,
you have at least caught it in time! Good luck!
Good luck!
