This may be a little confusing, so bare with me!
I’ve had swollen lymph nodes in my neck now since my birthday in May. I’ve also had a lot of problems with my legs and pain and different things so my GP ordered a load of blood tests, predominately looking for autoimmune diseases such as lupus etc. So far, I’ve got the ESR one back which has been said is 24 - apparently, according to the reference ranges it says it should be below 12. My white blood cell count has come back raised at 17, and so has my lymphocytes at 5 point something.
I wondered if it could have anything to do with my lymph nodes more than the pain and weaknesses in my legs? I’ve also lost over a stone and a half in the last month, plus a few other symptoms.
I’m so confused because my GP never seems to tell me what the results could mean. He never says “well it could indicate this” or “it means we have to look more into X Y Z”... Im fed up of never having answers!
Any advice/experiences of anyone that has maybe had raises in ESR or swollen lymph nodes would be greatly appreciated!
