Hello, I'm hoping you'll be able to help.
About 16 months ago I had a strange pain in the right side of my neck, near my collarbone. Some time later I noticed a swelling lymph node behind my ear. I would wake up in the morning with dull headaches and the right side of my head felt tender to the touch. Plus a general feeling of tiredness.
I duly went to my doctor who told me I was stressed and my body was merely preparing itself for an infection, it was the body's natural defences causing this.
The pain gradually went away after about 4 weeks and I didn't give it another thought.
However, in the past few days I have noticed, upon waking, the headaches on the right side of my head have returned as has the tenderness when I touch it. There are no enlarged lymph nodes but I am feeling very tired again.
I am worried I have something serious and would appreciate any offer of advice, or hearing from someone who has had similar experience.
Thank you
