hi all, not sure what to do.

Few months ago, i noticed I had swollen lymph nodes. I had them checked out, blood tests came back perfect and the doc who looked at them said nothing to worry about.

Well since then, ive noticed more cropping up......very sore esp in my groin.

I have also recently started getting unbearable bone pain, hard to describe.. but sort of like a throbbing.

I am going back to the doc on Monday morning.. to have it checked again.

I looked up side effects of my meds, and surely enough .. swollen lymph nodes came up, as well as bone density probs (dont know if this would cause bone throbbing)

I have mentioned this to my neuro countless times and she insists the medications are not cuasing swollen lymph nodes.

I will be seeing a doctor at a womens clinic on Monday.. and I am determined to get to the bottom of this...

If its the medications like I suspect, Im not sure what I can do.. Ive tried coming off with not so good results....

:/ anyone have any idea what else this could be ? .. I saw a bunch of scary stuff like lymphoma.. or STD's (impossible for me to have an STD though)

I dont have any other symptoms of lymphoma though.. like weight loss, loss of appetite and night sweats... just the lymph node issue.

:((((( plz help or advice ?
 
Actually, I

have a swollen lymph node, too, and have had it for YEARS. The doctors aren't worried about it. It's right near my jaw....but having one versus a number of them is totally different.

I'd be all over the doctors if I were you. Especially if one of the meds has a listed side effect of such a thing. Print it out and SHOW it to the doctor on Monday. DEMAND some help. SHOW her EXACTLY where the pain is, and describe IN DETAIL what it feels like. And then see what happens....
 
I agree with Meetz -- spell it out for your docs in skywriting if you have to.
