Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 60 year old female. I have a very enlarged lymph node directly under my right ear in my neck. A biopsy was done and came back with inflamation. My neck is sore and when I turn my head it sometimes causes numbness in my face or arms. I have flare ups with my body aching all over like I have the flu but I don t get sick. I am tired all the time. Occasionally I have muscle spasms in my feet . Also tingling in my fingers when it is cold out.
1.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of any infective / inflammation, it can be localised or systemic cause. 2.As the biopsy was taken and proven as inflammatory condition - need to treat the underlying conditions. 3.The tingling and numbness is due to the nerve compression caused by the enlarged lymph nodes. 4.Ultrasound will help to evaluate the nature of the lesion its extensions. 5.MRI is investigation of the choice to evaluate the nerve / chord compression.
Good luck. Hope i have answered your query, any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask. http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-ganesh/62888
