in reply to: Severe Neck Pain…..and MRI results #5811
Dr. Corenman,
I will find a good specialist this time. I did forget to tell you one other thing and I’m not sure if it has any relevance or not. Last year I had a swollen lymph node in the left side of my neck, (it was there for over 6 months) and I was sent to see an ENT doctor. The doctor removed it for testing; luckily it came back negative. But the doctor said he was surprised that it was so big, he said normal size was 2 to 3 centimeters, this one was 8 centimeters.
My concern now is that there is another swollen lymph node about an inch below where the other one was. Could this have anything to do with any of this neck pain?Thank you,
Pattyin reply to: Severe Neck Pain…..and MRI results #5808Thank you, I now feel like I have some kind of direction as to what to ask my doctor about.
I know about the epidural injection, I had it done on my lower back 5 years ago because of a degenerated disc. Luckily I was a great candidate for the procedure, it lasted a little over 3 years before the pain returned. And it didn’t return full blown as before I had the injection.
Unfortunately; the doctor that did that injection doesn’t take my current insurance, but I will find one that does.
Thank you again for actually “listening” to me.

in reply to: Severe Neck Pain…..and MRI results #5806Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I will be going to my appointment 3 hours from now.
You ask how much pain in my neck vs. how much pain in my shoulders; The pain in my neck I would say probably 70%, and 30% in my shoulders. It just depends on which direction I move my neck and the pain will shoot into my shoulders. Sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, and sometimes both. But the pain in my neck is constant, it’s there 100% of the time, sometimes it hurts so bad I just sit and cry.
In your opinion; should I get an EMG test? Or are there other tests that could possibly give me a clue as to why I’m in so much pain?
Thanks again.
