Can Lumps In Ear Suggest A Lymph Node?
I have a kidney bean size hard immovable lump behind my left ear. Its not painful but I have had it for about 5 months and within the last year lost 46 pounds without changing anything and have been having horrible joint and lower back pain. I also have been extremely tired. What could the lump be? Just a lymph node?

Hello...
Its a Good thing observed by you....
It seems to be lymph node from your mentioned history... but we have to concern about weight loss and joint pain...
It may be due to some hidden malignency...
Kindly consult ur family doctor and get investigated for Lymph node first... in form of local sonography or needle biopsy nd then after further investigation or treatment.....
