Hello Karly! I have experienced an awful stabbing pain that traveled from my right ear, down to my jaw, down my neck, and out through my chest and this new pain sent me to the emergency room. I was told it was from a swollen lymph node. I couldn't believe a swollen lymph node could cause this much pain! I read people with lupus can get swollen lymph nodes for no apparent reason, possibly from disease activity. Alll I know is that I was in such misery!! This lasted for about ten days or so and so far I haven't had to deal with it since then. Ddin't travel to my toes so im not sure this was the same kind of pain you are having. I hope this was of some help to you and I truly hope you'll be able to get through if it was anything like what I went through! Hugs, hugs, and more hugs!
