What Causes Pain In The Neck Glands?

Hello ~ i have been diagonsed with Fibro around 8 yrs or so. I have pain in my upper neck glands on the sided of my neck anf feel achy and hurt all over along with feeling feverish everyday. In the mornings I take two 50 mg of Ultram and that helps. after lunch I start with all the above feelings alot worse than in the mornings. I will take two more ultrams but it barely takes the edge off. Do you feel as if this is still the Fibro going on or possibly something else? Thank you.

Hello,

The swollen glands are not typical for fibromyalgia. For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests in order to investigate for the possible causes:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Vitamin D plasma levels
- Kidney and liver function tests
- RF plasma levels
- ASO titer for strep infection
- Tests for mononucleosis
- ANA and ANCA titer to investigate for a connective tissue disorder.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
