Lymph Glands

[Stubby2]

SHIT... off to the docs tomorrow. Ive just noticed a major danger sign! I have hard lumps attached to the muscle on the armpit,groin, throut,collar, and neck. Also, I have been experiencing paing between testicles and anus which Im assuming is the prostate. Been having trouble pissing for about a year but ive done a few ECA stacks in that time which I contribute to that (i hope). Now, Silly me noticed the throat and collar lump around 6 (yes six) years ago. They have not changed in size during that time and have no idea if the other sites contained lumps then. I do feel tired all the time (unless on ECA) which Ive read is a symptom of non-hodgkins lymphoma.

Guess ill know soon enough if im off to meet my maker.

If this was not enough... check out the chat board for the details of my misses and what she has been upto

well, after going to the docs and having a full examination he sent me to get full blood work done. He said the tests will check blood counts (T and B cells and platelets i think???) Liver function,thyroid function and glucose.

He examined my abdomen and found no abnormailities in the liver or spleen and pretty much said you wont have Lymphoma if you have had the lumps for so long.

Just have to wait for results now. Does anyone have any other advice on any of the above? i.e. past experiences etc.

Hope everything works out for you.... What did he say specifically about the lumps in your armpits? Were the lumps temporary or are they still there? I've noticed a lump in my armpit that usually is there for 3-4 days then gone.

I've had these problems too.

I've been to the doctor a few times in regard to my swollen lymph glands. What I was told, is that your body is trying to fight an infection. This can also mean a virus. Now, I have a mild case of genital herpes. Just before I get a outbreak, which is about once a year, my lymph nodes in my groin swell up. Not a big deal.
It is a warning sign that something is not right. I would not be suprised that when injecting into your self, if you get any sort of absess or infection, the area closest to the injection site, that contain lymph nodes, could swell up.
So if you feel swollen nodes, in your body ie.) groin, armpits, neck ect.. give it a few days, they will probably go down. But if they are constantly swollen, then haul yer ass into the doc, but don't worry your too much about certain cancers.

I would not worry about it. If your glands a swollen in all of those regions and it were cancer you would be very ill by now. Swollen glands are very common and usually mean you are fighting a viral infection in you body. If they are painful it usually means a bacterial infection. Sometimes it takes years for the glands to return to their normal size. Sometime they never do. Glands also swell up due to allergies and for no reason at all. I think most people go through the swollen lymph node thing at least once in their lives. You will be fine so don’t worry yourself sick like many people do.

Thanks for the advice guys, hopefully Stubby's bloodwork comes out to his advantage.

Well got my results over the phone and to my utter disbelief all are normal! Feel kinda shocked still that ive been worrying all these years for nothing. Im sure it will hit me that I actually have a future very soon. This last week has made me realise whats important in life. Im stopping smoking, stopping alcohol (which ive been doing in excess) and will concerntrate on having fun without getting drunk which I normally have to do.

Thanks for all the advice and support.
