Avatar n tn There are many different tests available to try to identify cancer recurrences in the neck and elsewhere in the body such as lung or bone. One of the best and still least expensive tests is a careful physical examination by a practitioner skilled in thyroid disease. Because papillary thyroid cancer tends to spread to lymph nodes in the neck rather than other far away areas such as lung or bone, a careful physical examination can easily detect a recurrence in a neck lymph node(s).
Avatar n tn Oral HPV has no preference oral or vaginal, its equally satisfied to live in either place, it loves mucosa. Testing every biopsy and reporting HPV positive or negative head and neck cancers is now standard requirement teachings hospitals, but its still relatively new. I work in a giant teaching hospital in pathology. 90% of all base of tongue and tonsil cancer are hpv. we are finding up to half of all oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, nasopharyngeal cancers are hpv related.
Avatar f tn Studies have indeed show that high blood glucose may predispose to cancer and cancer cells primarily run on glucose. Views on this are diverse and while further studies may need to be done, it is still up to the patient to take this. Westernized approach of cancer has involved chemotherapy and medications while eastern medicine have been employing dietary approach in management of diseases for a long time. Discuss this with your doctors for proper management. Take care and best regards.

Avatar f tn I had right thyroidectomy and neck dissection done in March for metastatic papillary cancer. Last week I returned to have completion of the total thyroidectomy and left neck dissection. For this most recent surgery I was in the hospital for 4 days and have been home now for 5 days. I still have some incisional pain and numbness on my jaw line. The most unexpected part of this surgery was the drain they had in place after surgery and the fact that they have placed me on a NO fat diet for 2 weeks.
1318351 tn?1313381421 I have also had for 3 months now swelling of the left side of my face, head and neck that is now causing pain in my neck, an intense pressure on the left side of my head and some sharp pains on the left side of my head, the pressure does not hurt though it just feels scary. I am pretty scared, any advice? Would the numbness near my spine have anything to do with the vit d? How to I make it better and what causes this?
Avatar f tn After my first visit with him I looked in the mirror and tilted my head back and saw not one but two nodules on the right side. Now a week and a half later I can see them without tilting my head. My nodules hurt all the time and I am getting a tickle that's causing me to cough. Also, my right tonsil is slightly enlarged and is sore but no sore red throat, but my right jaw is sore too. My bowels are changing too, I am usually always constipated but they are now getting looser.

Avatar n tn I have a hard, non-tender lump on the right side of the back of my head down towards my neck. I noticed it in undergrad (4 years ago) and they took blood work. The NP said that my white count (i think) was slightly elevated, and that i probably had a virus lingering around, which would explain the swollen lymph node on the back of my head. It has never gone away. It has been there at least 4 years now. I have lately been SUPER fatigued.
Avatar m tn Whereas in the past, the “face” of head and neck cancer was a man in his 60s with a history of heavy smoking and alcohol consumption, the men diagnosed with HPV oropharyngeal cancer do not smoke heavily and may still be in their 50s or younger, although older men are also affected. Dr. Wirth explains that HPV cancers show a specific pattern as to where they arise.
Avatar n tn The general term used for babies who can not hold their head up well is head lag. At birth, all babies have head lag. Some control over head movement is reached by 8 weeks so that head lag lessens. By the age of 4-6 months, most babies should be able to hold their head up when pulled by their arms to a seated position. However, there is of course some variation between infants, and some may hold their head up earlier and some a little later.
Avatar f tn Hi all, Has anyone ever heard of breast cancer (IBC or other) spreading up the neck to cause neck, ear, and head pain on that side? I have a swollen axillary node and pain in my breast and up my neck to my ear and head and nobody can figure it out, even breast specialists. Does this sound famiiar to anyone? Thanks so much for any info.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed anti-depressents which calmed me but the headaches continued. I was then sent for a MRI head and neck scan without dye which came back clear. I have also had a ct scan of bowel and several other tests which again have been ok. I am now feeling sick but my GP will not send me for any more tests. I have a fear of cancer after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer ten years ago which turned out to be a complete mistake.
Avatar f tn I use. Soft and hard neck brace. The soft one is to try to keep my head more stable as I sleep or as I read and do arts and crafts. It seems to to help with the muscles in my neck. It keeps them from getting tight. But as I'm trying new meds this month, i have put the soft neck brace to the side. The hard neck brace is to keep my head stable as I go riding my horse.
Avatar n tn Lymph nodes enlarge when there is an infection. The head and neck area have an extensive network of lymph nodes. These lymph nodes function like a filter, and thus increase in size in the presence of infection to filter out organisms. Even with treatment, some lymph nodes remain enlarged. A recurrent infection would further increase the size of the lymph node. However, there are other conditions that can present with lymph node enlargement. Head and neck malignancy is an example.
Avatar f tn You raise a great question, but the jury is still out on this issue. The effects of cellphone radiation on head and neck tumors has not been shown but also not been extensively studied." to my follow up question re 'can we test for this' and could there be a relation to the head jerking, he said: "There's no way to test for this, and I certainly don't think it has any relation to your head jerking." how would you feel?

9779545 tn?1405850046 It usually happens on the scalp, but can show up on neck, back and chest. He has most of his on the upper back, chest and back of the neck...not so much on the scalp at all. He has a beard and mustache, and shaves his head, so he doesnt really get them along the hairline, but does get them around the beard and mushache. As far as the solition, what I have found so far is that this condition is usually a manifestation of some other problem(s) in the body.

Avatar f tn I have not had any difficulty breathing but I continue to have a strange, tingling sensation almost extending from my right shoulder to my neck and up into my throat. As I mentioned earlier, the wisdom tooth on my lower right side has created swelling of my gums and has been painful from time to time. I also get pain in my head that seems isolated to my right side.
