Avatar m tn Hi all anyone any ideas ? I have this lump in my neck about 2-3 years behind my jaw bone and under my ear ..I brought to my gp years ago n he said probly a cyst never gave me any trouble ....but now ...I was admitted to hospital a few weeks back in horrific pain in my jaw n felt like this lump was exploding in my neck ...no amount of pain relief would take it away I was practically unconscious from all of it ...anyways pain has subsided but still there ...
1748247 tn?1311799602 My take on this is that what ever this lump or knot is behind my ear has nothing to do w/any salivatery gland, because the lump is behind the ear and not in my mouth. As to the swelling I feel that its to the lump behind my hear that is causing my jaw muscle and neck muscle to swell, as a defense to the lump behind my ear. I am also feeling numbness in my L. side of my face, lip and arm which she said is a nuero issue.
Avatar f tn Not affecting eye sight or any symtoms linked to it. Found softish non moveable lump behind ear feels like its attached to jaw bone. But if i open mouth or turn head lump disapears.... Most symtoms popped up after i found that lump behind ear i was thinking most of my symtoms could be caused by anxiety and depression because i had no problems before i found it ... If it is cancer i wont get treated by kemo or radiation i will posibly do surgery...
Avatar n tn Yesterday I've discovered a lump under my right jaw line which I believe is a swollen lymph node. I've always had a very hard bean-shaped lymph node on the left side of my jaw about 1-2 cm in diameter, and now there's a elastic painless lump of about 5 cm in diameters on the right side. Before it developed I could hardly feel the lymph nodes on the right side of my jaw.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have found a lump under my mouth, which is right below my gums by my jaw. What can possibly be there that would be a lump? It has me worried....I have an appt for the ENT soon but it is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!
Avatar m tn I also have a swollen lump below my jaw in the right side - it may not be a lymph node - it is possible that it is your submandibular salivary gland. Check with your dentist - they know the anatomy of your mouth and jaw area. Typically the submandibular gland will swell without any pain, whereas swollen lymph nodes typically do exhibit pain of some sort.
Avatar n tn I have a hard knot/lump on my lower right jaw bone behind my wisdom tooth which is still there. I noticed it yesterday and it makes it hard to close my mouth or eat on that side and it's painful. I just wanted to know if anyone might know what it could be. I have jaw pain from time to time which makes my wisdom tooth ache because I have TMJ, so my doctor told me last year. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
Avatar f tn Ive recently been very worried about my health orally, as I have experienced pains in my mouth. I have a very small lump in my chin/jaw line, its completely painless, soft, and I can move it around, I have come up in very large, yellow headed spots behind my ears, and on my neck, and just about a month ago, noticed I had a small, hard, white lump in the back of the roof of my mouth on the left hand side.
Avatar f tn ve been having some pain in my jaw (not affiliated with a tooth) and today I noticed a swollen bump right on the jaw line on the right hand side in between the chin and the back part of the jaw near the ear. The pain has been throbbing and has radiated all along the right side of my face, primarily including the inner right ear, the right temple, and of course the right side of my jaw.
Avatar m tn So I have a lump or inflammation of what I presume is a gland between my large neck muscle and under the back of my jaw line. Last week I was ok but developed a sore throat and headaches late last week and by the weekend I had a sore throat, vomited once and developed a sore neck and this lump all in the space of a day. I dunno what it is but if I turn my neck now it's not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch.
Avatar n tn Thanks for your help! The lump is acutally on the front of my ear-It's parallel to my earing, it feels as if is's attached to the inside of my earlobe and the side of my face. It is NOT behind my ear. I have looked at a few "maps" of the body's lymphatic system, and the lump does not appear to be located where a node would be present. It is rock hard and doesn't move. Also the pain is minimal, and it only hurts once in a while.
Avatar f tn ) So - two weeks from tomorrow, after lunch, I felt a bump in my mouth. It is on my gums, about a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch below my gum line. It is on my lower jaw behind the tooth next to the bicuspid (closer to the middle of my mouth than the bicuspid). At first it didn't hurt. It just felt like a little rock hard pin sticking out of the back of my gums. I had a dentist appointment coming up so I figured I would talk to my dentist.
Avatar f tn Recently I found a small soft lump in my throat under my chin at my jaw line. I have had a sore throat and then I notice the lump. My sore throat went away but the lump is still there. Sometimes I have pain in my throat near the lump but it only lasts a second and then goes away. It's on the right side of my face, nothing on the left. Should I be alarms or does it just sound like swollen lymph node?? Help!!
397399 tn?1201368399 What could be the possible cause of a small lump just below my jaw line on the left side. I have recently noticed it. Is this a symptom related to the hypersalivation I am dealing with ? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar f tn i have a hard lump under the bone in my jaw i went to the dentist he gave me antibiotics but they dont seem to be working its really hard and a bit bigger than the size of a tooth its unmoveable and not sore more like pressure what should i do?
Avatar f tn i have a movable lump in my cheek on left side right above jaw line.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. We're sorry you are going through this and do encourage you to be seen by your doctor or at the very least, call and talk to them about it. Is your throat sore as well? Before your wisdom tooth extraction, did you have difficulty swallowing a pill? How long ago was the extraction? The lump appeared after that or was there prior?
Avatar m tn Okay I asked about this like 2 years ago and kinda forgot about it and it hasnt bothered me since! And all of a sudden I've worried about it again! I have a node/gland on each side of my jaw! If you look at a diagram of where the nodes/glands are its kinda where the submandibular glands are on each side! It's literally identical on both sides too! If I push up under my jaw behind where my teeth are sort of thing!

Avatar f tn I'm a 16 year old male. I was itching my neck like right behind my right jaw bone and I noticed a small pea sized lump. You cant see it but if you press on it you can feel it. Could this be lymphoma?
Avatar n tn Hi, You have mentioned of a lump in the area where you feel the pain. Would you have any idea which came first, the lump or the pain? At this point, let us focus on the lump. I suggest that you have this assessed by your primary physician for any redness, warmth, and discoloration. A complete physical examination will also be able to help rule out an underlying skin or musculoskeletal disorder.
Avatar m tn s between my ear and the top of the jaw line. Should I be worried for another infection? Does anyone know of any possibilities it could be?
