liver cancer neck pain

Most likely, your symptoms may be due nerve irritation in the cervical (neck) spine because of injury or prolapse due to neck lump where contact between the edges of the vertebrae can cause neck pain. In few people, this pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head, shoulders, arms or chest, rather than just the neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo, nausea (dizziness) that you felt. Other symptoms are like neck pain and stiffness can be intermittent.

Major causes of pain under the right shoulder blade include heart attack, gallbladder attack, liver diseases (liver cancer, liver abcess), breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, arthritis.

Colon cancer has a propensity for recurring in the liver, and even though your cancer was first diagnosed eight years ago, colon cancer has been known to come back as late as 10 years from initial discovery. So there is still a possibility that the lesion could be cancer, but we can't know for sure until a biopsy is done. By the way, has a CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) test been done? If so, what are the results?

Primary liver cancer is fairly unusual, and the presence of a liver cancer usually causes no pain until it is quite progressed, so I believe with clear ultrasound and clear CT-Scan, you can exclude liver cancer as the cause of your pain. (Furthermore, unless you have a pre-existing liver disease such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, hemochromatosis, primary liver cancer would be highly unusual.) I hope your pain and discomfort is resolved soon, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

The only objective way to see if your mother has some other sites of metastases is to have these other body parts examined by some imaging procedure. Breast cancer has a predilection for spreading to the other breast, the lungs, liver, bones and brain. Metastases to the opposite breast can be determined by physical examination or by mammography. Liver metastases can be checked by means of a liver ultrasound or CT scan. Brain metastases can likewise be detected by CT scan.

E doctor said it was possibly pleurisy and prescribed me some pain relief and continued to tell me to stop worrying and that I do not have cancer. I have become very itchy and my mind is all over the place. I recently read online that individuals with lymphoma suffer from pleurisy. I also have been sneezing constantly and having itchy eyes. This is concerning me even more, as it could show my immune system is low.

There is likely a liver soft tissue lesion present about 3cm in diameter. Neck: Impression: There appears to be multiple small nodules in the anterior triangles bilaterally primarily level III and IV in the lower neck. However, these nodules mostly appear less than 1 cm in size, although a few are about 11-12mm. Although not particularly large, their overall number would raise concern for early or mild adenopathy.

My question is about chest pain but let me give you some background information first. For the last six months I have had a chronic cough that won't go away (as well as some fatigue and enlarged non-tender lymph nodes in the neck). The chronic cough is sometimes productive and sometimes just dry. It goes back and forth. In May, I was diagnosed with mono. I don't know if the cough is actually from the mono or something unrelated - my doctor has never really told me.

We met with the Oncologist, he specializes in GI cancer - particularly primary liver cancer. He confirmed that based on the MRI he does have a tumor, it is larger than we were previously told about 13 cm. He reviewed all previous scans, labs, and biopsy that he had on a area of his liver about 4 years ago. He indeed confirmed that there was no cancer present prior to now, and that it is a very aggressive and fast growing cancer.

Turns our the lump (2.5 cm) is a lymph node on the right side of neck so the cancer has spread. I am having surgery Sept. 9th for a TT and neck dissection to remove some lymph nodes too. What are the chances of the cancer turning up somewhere else since we dont know how long it has been haning out in my lyphnatic system? It seems uncommon for it to spread to lungs, liver or bones but can it happen? planning on doing the radioactive iodine treatment 5-6 wks after surgery.

s until I had an ultrasound of my thyroid (my sister had thyroid cancer.) I had no neck pain but sometimes felt a fullness when I swallowed. I would bring it up to your Endo and also have an ultrasound done if you haven't already. Best of luck to you!

Unfortunately, over-the-counter pain killers are sometimes little help with the severe pain that can be produced by back and neck problems. Likewise, opioid pain pills don't always control back and neck pain very effectively and it's very tempting to take more than the prescribed dosage. But if you do that, you're taking your life in your hands because of the large amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol) contained in most opioid pain pills.

I also have had pain in the lymph nodes in back of neck, right groin and today it started in right arm pit. I feel nauseated off and on, totally out of my mind and foggy. My eyes will start burning and recently started running very low grade temp off and on. I feel my body is fighting something. Oh and the last week, I have noticed difficulty breathing sometimes....so weird. They did a pelvic ultrasound and found a complex cystic mass on the right ovary.

has anyone experence alot of pain haveing a liver biopsy done???has anyone have it done by a ct scan and how did they do it??

I have HCV, End-Stage Liver Disease (advanced cirrhosis) and liver cancer and it is what I am told I can take for minor aches and pains. Max is 2,000 mg per day for cirrhotics.

I have pain under my gut & I am guessing it is my liver hurting.Just lost my insurance thanks to .......... anyone out there had a specialist ck out this problem.Need to know what I am pulling out of my pocket for a decent diagnoises.

odine makes patient extremely weak and sleepy and difficult to wake up. She is taking panadol three times a day for neck and shoulder pain .

s massive liver cancer was found during tests not related to abdominal pain or discomfort, and despite a 12cm liver cancer, he had no swelling or pain. And, my husband is also proof that a liver cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence -- he was diagnosed in 2007 (he did have to undergo massive resection) but he's still alive and kicking today. :) All the same, you should not ignore your symptoms. Get checked out. Hope that helps, and let us know how things turn out for you.

I had cancer in my liver and diaphragm and my lymph system. Now it has spread in my liver, lymph nodes (around my heart and in my neck), and in my spleen. It spread like buck shot. It would be great to take the ovaries at that would be the end of it.

Hi. Has your mom been previously diagnosed with cancer? If not, I just find it hard to believe that a finding of possible liver metastases on CT scan would not prompt her doctors to look for the possible source (the "primary" lesion) of those metastases. If those liver lesions are indeed metastases, her upper back pain could indicate metastatic lesions to the spine as well, which should warrant further investigation (i.e. bone scan).

I have been referred to an edocronoloist for thyroid issies and possible cushions syndrome, My father died of lung, mouth and throat cancer along with liver cancer. Should I be concerned this could be cancer? I cant seem to get the doctors to understand how severe this is. I have been out of work due to this going on 3 weeks. I have read up on pancoast tumors and all signs point to this???
