Hi Everyone,
Let me make a long story short. The inside of my elbow (area where they would draw blood) has had a tiny, pea size, hard lump there for about 6+ months. Not painful, did not move around and I thought it was just a calcium deposit or fatty little cyst under the skin.....sorta like a lypoma. (spelling?)
This past Tuesday it appeared to start swelling in this area, sorta like a swollen lymph node. It swelled to approximately the size of a golf ball.
Fast forward to this morning the swelling is getting bigger and is moving down towards my elbow bone. It is my left arm, not my dominant arm. Last week it seemed the lymph glands in my throat were all swollen and now this.
Does Lupus cause our lymph glands to swell in ugly proportions?
Any insight that anyone could provide would be most helpful. I do have a doctors appointment set up for the 24th with a Hematologist. The reason for this is because my GP wants me to go there since I have been seen by this guy before in 2005 for abnormal T cells that turned out to be nothing.
As always, Thank You all!!!:wink2:
