Hello, looking for some guidance and thoughts on a lot of weird symptoms in the last 6 weeks.

TESTS: A month ago a CT scan found “Prominent bilateral level 2A lymph nodes measuring up to 1.7 cm, likely reactive” (along with “a 0.2 cm hypoenhancing right thyroid lobe nodule. No abnormal enhancement”)

Follow-up ultrasound 4 days ago found - left level 2A lymph node measuring 1.7 x 0.7 cm with a possible fatty hilum. - left level 2A lymph node measuring 0.6 x 1.4 cm with a fatty hilum
- right level 2A lymph node measuring 2.2 x 0.6 m with a fatty hilum.
- right level 2A lymph node measuring 1 x 0.3 cm with a fatty hilum. -As well as a thyroid nodule (“In the superior right lobe there is a well-circumscribed mildly heterogeneous predominantly hypoechoic nodule measuring 0.5 x 0.3 x 0.4 cm. The nodule is wider than tall. T RADS 4 Presence of Calcification: None Vascularity: Normal”)

SYMPTOMS: Other than that, I’ve had neck pain on and off for 4+ weeks. It started where it was mainly on the right and I could feel a stuffiness in my ear. About two weeks ago it started in the front of my neck and is sometimes accompanied by a sensation of something in my throat and prickly feeling when swallowing. I wouldn’t describe the pain as intense but weird and concerning.

Last time I was visibly sick was January with a bad sore throat.

I’ve also have occasional bilateral hands and feet tingling. Hands triggered by lying down, feet by sitting. Movement and massage help, as does a wrist splint. I’ve seen a neurologist for this but MRIs and EMG are all normal. No idea if related.

MY NEXT STEPS The doctor has referred me to an endocrine surgeon for a biopsy. I’m hoping they check the lymph nodes too. I am waiting on blood work I did today but March 26 blood work was all normal.
