Can you drain it?

A lump on my neck

 Lymph nodes

The reason for the towel behind me is there is a lump on my neck, I have had it for years, but this weekend it has been especially painful sending shooting pains as high as the top of my right eye, and down into my shoulder.

I did report it months ago, the result I got from the doctor was abbysmal, he told me less than I knew. All he did was book a blood test, and say it isn't cancer.

Am I going deaf?

 Hearing loss

A lump on my neck

For several months, I have had a lump on the right side of my neck, I didn't consider it a cause for concern until this week. This week, I have noted a huge loss of hearing, I can put the televison to full volume, and yet hardly hea what is being said. Am I going deaf, or is the lump the cause of the loss of my hearing?
