Have Sore Subdural Lumps On The Neck. Feeling Weakness In Arm And Dizziness. What Could It Be?
I have developed subdural lumps along the let side of my neck along the line of the caortid artery it geos from the corner of the jaw to the clavicle and they are very sore, I can plapate them and they feel small in size approximatly the size of dime maybe smaller. What could this be it just suddenly appeared I feel a little dizzyness and left sided weakness in my arm.
Hi They are cervical lymphnodes. Normally,multiple lymphnodes are present in the neck.They get enlarged in many conditions like Infections,sarcoidosis,Tuberculosis,lymphoma's etc. I prefer antibiotic like Cefuroxime and anti inflammatory medicine initially to my patients with similar complaints. If there is no response with in a week,i remove one swelling and send it for histopathological examination(Biopsy). Please consult your doctor and proceed or you can follow my guidelines. Wish you speedy recovery Regards
