    Lymph node in neck
    Hi,

    I'm just wondering if I should go to the doctors to get a lymph node in my neck checked out.

    I went the hospital about my ankle hurting; and just asked the doctor really quick about a lump on my neck and he said it's a lymph node.

    I noticed a really small lump in my neck about 2 years ago while pregnant but didn't really think anything about it. While pregnant I was really sick all the time, swelled ankles & when my son was born he was healthy but I wasn't. When he was delivered I went to get up & passed out. Then after blood work they found out that I had anemia due to pregnancy they said caused from losing too much blood; was 70 out of 120. Now my son is almost 2 and I'm still tired all the time; & my white cells still only about 80 now. I'm tired all the time; my back is itchy all the time. Should I get further tests done on this lump as it had grown larger since I have been pregnant?

    Thanks

    Yes, see a physician unless the ankle problem was recent and the Dr. that you talked to recommended otherwise.
