Help with my diagnosis

[ftse100]

Hi,

For the last year or more I've had a lump on the left side of my neck. It is under the skin and not visible to the naked eye however it can be felt. I was told by the doctor this was a swollen lymph node and not to worry. Along with this I have been getting chronic head pressure and a slight tight facial pain on the left side of my face. This comes and goes. The doctors have given me beta blockers and said I have silent migraines. They help a little but not a lot. Has anyone ever felt similar to this? I also have sore eyes with plenty of eye floaters and I also have a slight internal tremor type feeling that comes and goes especially under exertion. I never felt this before. Just to note that the lump on the left side of my neck appeared a few months after the head dullness came along so they may not be related. See my older post for additional info. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any more replies or insight to this would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately i'm still feeling the same!

Hello~I highly suggest that you see a chiropractor. It seems to me you have misplaced vertebrae in your neck and this is causing the issues you are having. The chiropractor will take some x-rays and then determine exactly which areas need attention. After a few treatments, you should start to feel better.

I think if you take an absorbable form of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate 600 mg, your head pain may improve.  The swollen neck nodes remind me that until I found out I have Celiac disease, I had swollen nodes in my neck all the time.  It took a surgeon to tell me my problem 30 years after I should have been diagnosed, so please ask to get tested for Celiac disease.  It's a couple of simple blood tests.  I had 30 odd little symptoms that nobody could explain, and they thought I just had anxiety.  Nope wrong.

Thanks for the reply. Would my blood tests so far not have checked for Celiac Disease? Early on I was taking magnesium 600mg a day. I took it for a few months and nothing changed, after awhile it made me quite tired so I stopped. The node on my neck is pretty late under the skin. It's only one mode and has been there a few months. The doc just keeps saying it's a swollen lymph node and that it'll subside. It's hardly a coincidence that I get numbness that side of my face and neck?

Silent migraines are suspect, however, a Neurologist should order an MRI to help him/her rule out any  neurological abnormalities relating to differential diagnoses.

Hey Niko. I have had full brain MRI and spinal MRI. All were clear. Have had bloods done which also were clear. Neuro says migraines. While I get head pressure I also have a shaking internal feeling sometimes along with shaking when trying to do a simple crunch. This never happened me before all these symptoms started. I've seen some similar posts on here but nobody seems to have a proper diagnosis. It's so frustrating as it affects me daily and I'd love an answer.
