My neck is very swollen above my collar bone. I’m a hair dresser, when this happens my arms hurt to lift, any idea?

Hi Dorid,

I see that you have just joined us, so some more background would help. Have you been diagnosed with CLL and if so, for how long and do you know what your markers are? You imply that this has happened before - so have you noticed anything that happens about the same time - illnesses, allergies (perhaps related to the use of some products you occasionally using in your business)?

Get to a doctor and request a full workup to see why the nodes are swollen in that location. Request Ultrasound AND bloodwork. If nothing is conclusive, request a biopsy of the swollen nodes.

If it is CLL. I found nodes are painful when they grow but then don't hurt later on even though they mostly do not go down until treatment
