I have what i describe a swollen nodule on the left side of my neck on top of muscle. It moves as nd is painful, the pain burns and radiates to my shoulder. My doctor checked my lymph nodes and said they were normal, thinks i strained my neck and shoulder. Sending me to chiropractor. Is that the right course of action?
Hello, It could be soft tissue swelling. You should not go to a chiropractor before making a diagnosis. You can go for an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. A fine needle biopsy may be required in case of diagnostic confusion. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like diclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
