Pain in my neck
Yesterday I noticed that a small area on my neck was tender. After a little bit of investigation I believe it’s possibly a lymph node. It doesn’t seem swollen at all but is painful to touch. This node is in the front of my neck, just above the middle of my neck so I don’t think that the pain is coming from my thyroid gland. I don’t feel a cold or anything coming on though either.
