Does Radiation Therapy For Thyroid Cancer Cause Swollen Glands Around Neck?
I HAVE HAS SWOLLEN GLANDS AT THE SIDE OF MY NECK/JAW ON THE RIGHT SIDE FOR 11 WEEKS AND ON THE LEFT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. IT IS PAINFUL WHEN I EAT OR REALLY WORK MY JAW, AS IN SINGING HIGH NOTES. ARE THESE LYMPH NODES OR COULD THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH A RADIATION/IODINE TREATMENT I HAD ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO FOR THYROID CANCER?

dear friend
a painless lump is mostly sinister.
may not be related to the iodine therapy but still warrents investigation.
Please visit your Physician and get a CT and FNAC done to find the exact cause
