just wanted to see if this was normal...armpits, sides, neck, and groin hurt like a toothache.....

Most likely they are getting bogged down by all of the toxins your body is trying to get rid of. I know I say this constantly, but are you detoxing?

Wow. Drink lots of water. Good sign that your body is trying to shed the poisons.

I get the worst pain in the lymph nodes behind my ears! It usually happens after I exert myself...so I assume it's because I'm stimulating the lymph fluid. So yeah it's probably a good sign, but really, really annoying...

i read that somewhere...what is that exactly?

broken, it is a type of massage. It can really help. Just look for massage therapists in your area, they will usually list Lymph Drainage as one of their offerings.

It can really help. I even do a little on myself and it makes a difference. Yours sounds so widespread and deep, you could use another set of hands, though!

haha achieving grace thats the truth......but i woke up this morning...and several in my back....have started hurting and more in my sides....it was absolutely horrible when i woke this morning....i have an appt with my PCP at 1 30....i look horrible....my face is swollen.....grrrr

Please be sure to let us know how your appt went when you are up to it!!

Also a word of caution - getting a massage for draining the lymph glands most likely will set in motion a herx, so be prepared with an easy couple of days, a detox bath or two, and those wonderful heating pads!!!

well let me just tell you how my appt went.....i told her all my lymphs were swollen...and she just looked at me....*this is not my lyme doc*.....i said we are gonna have to do something about it cuz they hurt...so i pulled my pants down and she started scrambling....."omg "...i said do u know how to do a lymph drainage....she said no and i dont even know where to go to to find it...i calmly said..."can u google it?"...lololol....i think i scared my doc to death...lol....but im waiting on word back....she is asking massage therapists...and rehab therapists if they know how to do it...she will proabbly end up referring me to someone else after she googles....and once again...i feel like a science project...lol

oooo and i read at least three articles today where they said lyme bacteria hides out there...and once u get lymphs cleaned out...your immune system should pick back up...*fingers crossed*

Broken,
I am glad to hear that you are on your way to getting some help with those! Just remember to be careful - the therapist must start slowly with you. Please be sure that you keep us up to date with how things go with this as well!

i get those symptoms when I go off blood thinner for too long.

do you by any chance have vericose veins or any type vein abnormality?
Posted 11/11/2011 11:56 AM (GMT -5)
yeah i have undiagnosed vericose veins in the back of my knees....inner elbows inside thighs.....those didnt start until i got diagnosed with hypothyroidism....*which is also a casualty of war from lyme*.....i have hypo since 2005.....
