ok, saw the ENT today, I will see him again in 2 weeks, he thinks it is my teeth causing my problems, i have an abcess, didnt know that,no pain in the gum line at all, we looked at the CT together, he showed me just below my jaw at least 12 lymph nodes that have issues, not to mention, I asked him doing a byopy on one, he said not now, he is starting my on heavy antibotics for 2 weeks and mean while I am to see a dentist, I have already been though 1 episode of antibotics, so for now, I will live with the neck pain and now back pain too, plus he said at 1.7 and 1.5 cm, they were really too small to go poking around in my neck, the 2 biggest ,each are next to the submandibular gland on each side, so see a dentist, see if the antibotics work,go back to him, and if not, move from there, he does not think it is lymphoma , but says it could be something else, but does not want to say what for now...guess I will wait, he is going to talk to my plumnologist as well as get my records from when i had a partoid gland removed from 5 years ago,, so for now I guess I will wait
