Is Lymph Node Cancer Related With Neck Pain With Spots?

HI,
I'm worried I may have cervical Lymph node cancer. I have been feeling a strange sensation lately on the left side of my neck and if I turn my head to the right and swallow I can feel an uncomfortable sensation. Also I have tender spots on the left side of my neck when prodded, but it's not exactly painful. Your thoughts, suggestions please.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have pain and enlarged cervical lymphnode. It may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of lymphnode. It will give you exact diagnosis whether it is cancer or not. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
