Just curious if anyone knows what this could be....right under my chin, kinda where your neck and chin meet, there is a little lump/nodule type thing. Its really tender, sore to touch. Anyone know what that could be? Or what's in that spot?

i don't know, and i'm not a health expert. However, I wonder if asking online isn't just setting yourself up for needless or extra stress/worry. No one but a Dr. in person will be able to diagnose you with any certainty, so why add extra stress. I hope I'm not out of line or being disrespectful, but I've had ny own bouts of internet diagnosis induced panic...
wishing you well... -
Well I'm not going to take an internet diagnosis, just asking out of curiosity. I will go to the Dr if it continues to hurt.Comment

Hi FB,
Chances are this is nothing, its very common to have the odd bump/nodule in this area (I have the same thing). However, if it is new and if it is changing in size, you need to go to a doctor to get that checked out. There is a chance it could be a tumor on your thyroid, though again I wouldn't worry too much until you actually consult with a physician.
Good luck.Comment

Thanks Glo - I wasn't sure if that was the exact location of the thyroid. I've never had pain there before. I know T3 can cause this, but what about any other AAS?Comment
-
I have the exact same thing. Sometimes it hurts and I can feel pressure when I tilt my head to that side. I had it checked out and the dr said it was nothing...BUT she never told me what that 'nothing' actually was.Comment

it's probably one of your lymph nodes... sometimes they can get sluggish moving fluid and swell, other times it could be indicative of an infection. If it doesn't go away it could be a variety of things including thyroid cancer, etc. Hope all goes well.Comment

I don't think AAS would cause thyroid cancer. I would just not worry too much about it and just go to the doctor. Don't even waste your energy/emotion researching it on the net, there's no reason to get yourself worked up over what will likely and hopefully be nothing.Comment

If it's on one or both sides of your neck, about an inch or so below your earlobe it could be a lymph node. Very common just prior to or during the initial stages of a cold. Typically nothing to worry about if that's what it actually is, but as stated, no way to know for sure without seeing and coon fingering it and even then can't say for sure why it's swollen without a lab.Comment

I was going to suggest the same. Maybe swollen lymph nodes? I got one under my armpit several years ago and had my will written out & the coffin lining colours picked. Went to the Dr and he said it was just a swollen lymph node. It went away after a few weeks. Then last year I got several lumps all around my neck and on the lower back of my head. Back to the doctor & it was swollen lymph nodes again, they did however this time take blood and do tests. It was due to a virus, with a name i wouldnt even begin to pronounce. But nothing antibiotics didnt fix. They went away after about a month. They are not pussy or anything, but like bumps under the skin that are semi-hard & tender to touch and mostly show up under armpits, the neck and the groin.Originally posted by hlcn8
But as you know, toddle off to the doctor, because all lumps should be checked, you just never know.
Good luck FB!Comment

I think it's a lymph node too. Usually they're the size of pinheads and you can feel them under your skin, but when you get an infection, they'll swell and become tenderComment
-
I figured its probably a lymph node, but its not on the side of my neck, and its definitely much larger than a pin head.
I'm not a hypochondriac, nor am I even worried or stressed. Just curious...
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help :)Comment
