Swollen Lymph Nodes In Neck For Months

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello all,

I recently noticed two large lymph nodes in my neck and am wondering if anyone else gets swollen lymph nodes with fibro. One lymph node was measured in an ultra sound at 2.6 cm. It was deemed benign and reactive but it is not going away. It has been 2 months and I am seeing an ENT next week.

I know fibro does not cause inflammation but is it likely to have recurrent infections which may cause such continued lymph node inflammation ?

Bowen Technique/Therapy can help with Lymph drainage. It really helped me. I had the lymph glands in one side of my neck swell up. It felt like a golf ball in my neck when I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. With hindsight, it appears I may have had both FM and Chronic Fatigue at the same time. Any how Bowen "massage" helped both the FM & the lymph drainage. Over the years I have had a variety of people carry out the Bowen technique on me and I still find Bowen helps me a lot.Good luck. (PS> Did you try the videos suggested by Blueeyes and if so, did they help?)

Have you had any luck finding any answers? I have a swollen node in my neck that feels hard but movable & non painful and according to scan is 7mm although it feels a lot bigger, at least an inch I'd say! Any how they are not concerned, however I still am and now feel aches at the side of armpits and sometimes other areas of my body. I am continuing to pursue.
