Going for an ultrasound this afternoon.

The doctors didn't know what it was. They said not lymph nodes, they thought. Maybe a fatty tumor. Maybe a blood clot. Maybe a hematoma, although it's not colorful.

The ultrasound operator said it looked like a swollen lumph node, and the doctor on duty agreed.

Now they'll just have to decide how to treat it, I guess.

It started out feeling like a bruise, but it seriously hurts, now, enough to keep me awake last night.

I had a swollen lymph node in my neck/throat, it's one of those things where the doctors just don't know why it's swollen- typically lymph nodes swell whenever your body is fighting a disease/virus, so it's a symptom of something, and when there are no other symptoms it leaves doctors guessing...
My doctor prescribed an antibiotic that was one of those that's used to treat many different types of infections, and I think it was basically a prophilactic type of treatment, in case there is some infection somewhere in my body, the antibiotic was supposed to help, but eventually the swelling went down and I was okay!! It was very painful and very uncomfortable though

I hope it's nothing serious for you either

The newest wrinkle is that I woke up this morning sweating with a fever, so I'm fighting something somewhere.

I DID have a little cat scratch on the left arm earlier in the week, but it's pretty much healed up, now.

When my niece was 2 (20 years ago) she contracted Cat Scratch Fever and her lymph nodes (near her female area/panty line) were swollen and very painful. Please mention it to the doctor, even though you don't want to, as this could be the problem.

I hope you're OK Mike. Sounds like you're fighting off an infection.
