What causes pain below my jaw on the right side? Could it be Hodgkin’s Disease? Its swollen under my jaw, on the right side, on top of the neck (compared to my left side). I dont have a flu/cough or any other symptoms and I'm putting on weight!
You should see a doctor and be examined.I can't put your mind at rest based on what you've said, but I can say that two common causes of what we doctors would call "submandibular swelling" are stones in the submandibular gland and tooth decay leading to an abscess. Both are statistically roughly twice as common as Hodgkins which is about 30 cases per million people per annum.People with cancer of all forms typically lose weight, although there are always exceptions, and yes, some people with Hodgkins do gain weight. 1/2 the adult population manages to gain weight and does not have Hodgkin's disease so you can't make too much of that in isolation.The most common lymph node site affected by Hodgkin's disease is in the neck, however, Hodgkin's disease can also cause swelling of the groin or nodes of the underarm but these swellings are usually not painful and can feel rubbery. Like most cancers Hodgkin's disease can also cause fevers, night sweats, weight loss, and even generalized itching. Hodgkin's disease may cause lymph nodes in the chest to swell, which can't be seen or felt, but can cause symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Interestingly, some people with Hodgkin's disease will note pain in the lymph nodes after minimal alcohol consumption which appears to be something you've noticed.Please get a checkup ASAP.
Having sharp pain in lower right ribcage and right neck under collar bone when breathing deeply help?
Hey, just a few thoughts.. 1, I have a "pneumomediastinum" aka, a small amount of air escapes from your lungs or esophagus and gets trapped in the chest wall, causing pain when inhaling. its a very sharp stabbing pain. it lasts a few days, and usually resolves on its own, and is spontaneous. If this were the case, you should go to the ER as it can affect your heart. 2. Another thing that comes to mind is pleurisy. That means the lining of your lungs may be inflamed. It can be both sides, or in your case unilateral. Try taking motrin or ibuprofen which are anti inflamatory drugs and see if that helps, but you should go to the Doctor for that as well, because that can be caused by an infection. 3. Your gallbladder is under your ribcage on the right side, and if swollen or infected can cause severe pain up your chest and even into your neck. You could have a bad gallbladder, or a gallstone.. If your gallbladder becomes swollen it can rupture which would be a painful death. I am not trying to scare you but you should go to the doctor. Only you can decide if the ER is necessary, but you are better safe than sorry. Also, thanks to Obama, Hospitals have charity care, or reduced fee assistance programs. You apply for it after your er visit and you submit proof of no insurance and what you make monthly and they will cut the bill down a lot. I had a $35,000 bill from that pneumomediastinum i mentioned and it was reduced by 100% which was a HUGE burden lifted off me. You cant put a price on your health, please go get checked out!
My lower right side hurts when i breath in?
Does the pain go away when you pee? If it was from pee, it would be central or else in the back by the kidneys. It could be chronic appendicitis rather than acute. If it hurts more when you let go and if you have any level of a fever get to a doctor or hospital right away. It could also be gas or constipation. I think you should go to a doctor right away. I waited three days because it didn't hurt enough and by then my appendix had ruptured. By the way, I also had recurrent episodes of pain in that area for years before it went.
Abdominal Pain in the upper/mid right side?
I had my gallbladder removed on December 28th via cholecystectomy. I experienced the usual post-surgery pain, but after a few days the pain went away and I felt great. However, around early February, I started to get the same exact pains as before. The right side of my abdomen has a constant pain and I also experience moderate to severe bloating. I went to the doctor and had blood work and a CT scan done. Results for both came back normal. No hernia, liver or pancreas issues. This past weekend my pain was so severe that I was almost unable to work. It hurts to workout, bend over, and even pick up my 4 year old daughter who only weighs 35 pounds. I have used anti-gas medication, Swedish Bitters, and even high dosage probiotic. Nothing helps. Some days are better than other, but for the most part, I experience constant abdominal pain in the upper and mid right quadrant. Has anyone experienced my pains? If so, what did you do to rid yourself of this nagging pain. Thanks and God Bless
What does right side chest pain indicate?
right sided chest pain may resulting from,Digestion-Related Causes(Indigestion, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Food blockages),Viral Infections.Gallbladder Infection Pancreas Inflammation,Liver Inflammation,Pleurisy,Lung Diseases(Pneumothorax, Pneumonia )Cardiovascular Problems(Cardiovascular Problems, Aortic dissection)Other Causes(Stress , Rib displacement, Fibromyalgia, Costochondritis, tumors)Chest pains come in many sizes and shapes. They might be experienced as fullness, heaviness, an aching, a drawing, burning, squeezing, fluttering, and many, many other ways.One very common presentation for chest pain is that of a sharp chest pain. Sharp can be perceived as stabbing, like a needle or a knife is piercing the skin.Most people at one time or another in their life become afflicted with such types of sharp chest pains.A good thing to know is that pain that is sharp, like needle is not often due to heart blockages. Particularly, if the pain is worse with movement or breathing rarely indicates coronary heart disease.Pain that gets worse or better with a change in position or movement most commonly indicates that the ribs, muscles, cartilage, or lungs are involved. This isn’t to say that such pain isn’t important. No sharp chest pain can occur with serious conditions.A blood clot in the lung can cause a sharp pain. Pneumonia or lung infections can produce sharp pains that are worse with movement. Fluid the fills the sac surrounding the heart called the pericardium can be sharp in nature.Indeed women with heart blockages sometimes present with sharp pain. As a general rule, however, the pain is not worse with movement or pressing on the chest.Sign’s that sharp chest pain isn’t a heart blockage:• Sharp chest pains that get worse with taking a breath• Sharp chest pain that is very short in duration- just a few seconds• Sharp stabbing pains that are worse when you press on the chest• When movement aggravates your sharp painsRemember, I’m not saying that sharp pains are not serious. As I mentioned some fairly serious conditions can cause a stabbing pain in the chest.It’s best to check with you doctor if you’re having chest pain.He/She will need to do a thorough history, find out about your cardiac risk factors, and perform a physical exam.Yet, sharp chest pain doesn’t have to mean you’re going to have the “big one.” It might be a rib that’s out of alignment.Check with your doctor. They’ll have the answers.
5 weeks pregnant with sharp pains on right side what is it?
It's early, but it could be round ligament pain. There are two major ligaments that support the uterus like rubber bands. As your uterus grows, they stretch and at times can be terribly uncomfortable. Is it worse when you get up from a sitting position? If it occurs when you are moving, I would say it's the ligament stretching. If it's constant, I'd be more concerned and speak with your doctor who may want to do a quantitative hcg blood test to measure the hormone levels in your blood. This can rule out tubal pregnancies if the levels double in a 48 hr period. Don't use a heating pad, but gentle massage and lay on your left side to ease discomfort. Don't take Advil or any prescription pain killers. Ask Dr. about Tylenol for discomfort. Good luck.

For starters, DON'T take Tramadol unless prescribed by your doctor and not by a spammer on here. Go and see the doc again and explain the situation.
