I have three lumps (painless, hard and immobile and getting bigger). One is on my neck beneath my ear and the other is in my groin (same side). The first one I noticed was on my neck about 4 months ago. The others are in my groin, one is bigger than the other (marble size). I have been sick for over a year and docs don't know what is wrong. I have terrible headaches (back of my head - not a migraine), joint pain, extreme fatigue and lots of other weird things. Sometimes I lose my balance, get night sweats, and kidney pain. On that same side my leg and ear hurt constantly (face & leg go numb - other ear hurts sometimes). My bones hurt all the time (especially that leg). Every now and then I lose a little weight but not a lot.

I just had a CBC and the doctor said it was OK - nothing wrong. A strong dose of antibiotics did nothing - no infection. Should I be worried? I hope someone here can help me because I know something is wrong.

I certainly am no doctor, but from your symptoms (many of which I shared) I don't feel you can rule out lymphoma. My advice would be to either get a CT-Scan or visit an Oncologist, for peace of mind if nothing else. It's the not knowing that I found the most difficult.

not too sound dissapointing, but i had the same symptoms, except only swollen nodes in neck that i could feel. i have stage 2 hodgkins lymphoma, i would suggest getting a biopsy asap, and don't fear anything, lymphoma is a highly curable cancer and treatment is going very good for me now. good luck with the test and god bless.
