    Lump on back of head
    Hi,

    I am 26 year old female and for the past year I have had swollen lymph nodes on my neck, I also had a hard lump on my chest. Eight months ago I went to see my doctor and was referred for tests. The results of the tests were that the lump on my chest is cartlidge and the swollen glands are most likely due to a virus which will go within 5 years!

    Since then I have a new hard painful lump on the back of my head, similar to the one on my chest and have been suffering with constant headaches and tiredness.

    What I what to know is whether these symptoms are linked and what could be causing them?

    Thanks Kerry

    Kerry, I am sorry to tell you that only your doctor can tell you this for certain. Since we do not know your complete history, it would be irresponsible of us to give you any sort of diagnosis regarding your symptoms.

    I know this is not what you want to hear, and for that I am sorry. It is just that you may get inaccurate or dangerous advice, so please make a doctor's appointment to get to the bottom of this.
