What Causes Swelling In Neck And Pain From Back Of Head To Shoulder Blade?
Hello, My left lymph node on my neck is swollen and it hurts to the touch. I have pain from the back of my head to my left shoulder blade and it seems to get worse each day. I have also been having night sweats everyday now for about 2 weeks and my lymph node has increased in size as well. The pain just started this week. What do you think it is?

Hello,
The pain in the neck and back of shoulder can be due to a local infection in the area as you have a swollen lymph node also. You need a few blood tests and FNAC for proper diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
