Lymphadenopaty (swollen glands) and spondylosis of lumbar sp Posted: 11-11-06 06:48am
Hi doctor.
I have the following symptoms for a few
months now. I first notice swollen glands
above my right clavicle. went to the
doctor and she said it might be a viral
infection (because i had a cold at the
time), however, it has not gone away
since. i then went to another doctor who
recommended that i do a blood test, i had
elevated eosinophils (1.5) and proteins.
she said it is also a viral thing. but i'm
really concern whether this has
contributed to my neck and shoulder
pain(went to the physiotherapy for this)
and sometimes i get altered sensations on
my fingers(just like there's something
there that i want to shake off), and pain
right through my arm. I've actually tried
to massage it, hoping it'll go away. it
did actually shrink a little (sort of
'pop') but it has gone back to its
original size. i can also feel a little
pea-size thing in the groin area and i
have groin and leg pain and weird
sensation on sole of my feet sometimes
like pulsations (i did a ct scan which
revealed i have a slight disc buldge
between L4 to L5 but did not press on the
nerve so the doc said it'll go away, she
thought it was a scatiaca)
I'm very concern and will see the doctor
again on monday. what is wrong? it has
really affected me mentally!!
The symptoms that you mention originating
from the leg (pain and pulsations) and
groin (“weird sensation”) are probably
due to the spondylotic changes in the
lumbar region of the vertebral column.
Symptoms originating from the neck (pain),
shoulder (pain) and arm (pain, altered
sensations) could likewise be attributed
to spondylotic changes in the cervical
region of the vertebral column.
Swollen lymph glands (lymphadenopaty) on
the neck could be caused by an infection
or tumor. To find out the real nature of
the possible lymphadenopaty both punition
and cytological analysis are required.
