Hi all, Went to my pain Dr today i told him my current primary, who I'm changing at start of month, wont physically examine me, i asked him to please feel my neck, that i was exposed to a black looking mold substance and have been very sick since December, so he felt and said i have a fibrous mass going down the right side of the front my neck, it's very painful especially to stretch my neck at all, and it hurts to swallow, not in my throat, in certain position, any thoughts on this little guy? Is not too visible bit can easily be felt, thanks guys

Is the pain Dr arranging any scans of your throat/neck /Ultrasound scan of Thyroid? MRI? or any other investigations? Not being medically qualified it's difficult to comment. You could phone him and ask if it warrants any further investigation or ask for diagnosis. Always ask for diagnosis.

Its not his expertise, he was just being a cool guy letting me know if anything was going on he said to get to a specialist with the proper knowledge of what I'll need, but it's nice to know i should get a specialist asap, im calling my case manager tomorrow morning and see what she wants me to do, maybe she can call that primary I'm dumping and see if that office manager girl will actually get me another ENT and go from there, thank you sweet Mary!
