It all started out with me feeling a small lump on the back of my neck when I was taking a shower. A few days after that I contracted really bad stomach pains. The morning after my stomach pains, which I still had by the way, my throat was sore. I then noticed a really big lump on the right side of my throat, which is where my throat hurts the most every time I try to swallow or spit. I’ve had the small painful to the touch lump on the back of my neck for a week now and I’ve only had the other symptoms for 2 or 3 days. As time goes on, my symptoms seem to keep on progressing, while adding new ones to the mix at the same time. My neck is stiff when I try to move it, and the stiffness feels like it’s moved somewhat down to my back. I feel as though I have a constant headache and my ears feel like they have a really bad constant pressure on them as well. All of the physical symptoms happened after I went swimming in my newly cleaned pool. I don’t know if that might have anything to do with it or not. I just thought that I’d mention it. If anyone has any idea whatsoever of what these symptoms could be, I’d really appreciate a point in the right direction. I’d go to the doctors, but I’m pretty strapped for cash at the moment, and I don’t have medical insurance. Anyway, thanks for all your help.
Neither of the lumps are red, in fact, you can’t even notice that they are there unless you feel them. I’ve had sore throats in the past and they have been focused mainly on the right side of my neck too.
