Clinical Examination of Head and Neck Lymph Nodes - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill

[@stephanies.9786]

I appreciate your method of mentioning what is happening and of obtaining consent. It is not only quite professional, but modern. I wager that many people have had bad experiences with doctors who were not informative and treated them as a specimen rather than a person (I know I have). It's good to know the next generations of doctors are learning to treat others with respect.

[@tmanchester606]

As a person whose only in-class education relating to the human body comes from public school health class and a single introduction to biology class, the lymphatic system has always been an enigma to me and was not as thoroughly covered compared to some of the more “well-known” bodily systems (primarily reproductive, digestive, and circulatory). Therefore, I’ll be looking forward to learning more. Thanks for the great content Dr. Gill!

[@ANCIIENT]

I have been on the internet for 2 years trying to figure out as to why I have these swollen lymph nodes.. with severe dry mouth after I got Covid in Jan 2021. I’ve been to ENT, Endocrinologist.. ultrasounds, MRI & still no proper solution. Just from your video I feel I learned so much & have a better understanding, now I can give the doctors more of a guide with proper terms/ knowledge! Thanks so much! Blessings to you! 🍀✨

[@nollie9311]

Do you have any dental issues? I’ve had swollen lymph nodes for over a year now, following an incomplete filling of one of my teeth, and a botched filling of the tooth next to it. I had thyroid cancer and had my right thyroid removed, sept 2022. Still dealing with these issues, I believe I have a long lasting dental infection (due to the root canal I had when I was little, I have a crown and believe this to be infected). I have many teeth with issues as my gums are receding and my doctor labeled it severe periodontal disease. I have had dry mouth for years, I got Covid back in December of 2020 or 2021 I don’t even remember. But I take medications that a side effect is dry mouth so this issue has been dismissed rather quickly. Trying to see a dentist who will look at all my teeth and not just one tooth per appointment is rather challenging. I have tonsil stones as well, and an ENT I saw April 2023 told me to plan for surgery to remove my tonsils and adenoids. Then she left the practice and I won’t see another ENT until February 2024. I’m in constant pain, unable to eat a lot of food. I struggle swallowing my own spit at times. My situation feels kind of hopeless. I’ve just been dealing with this for so long now.

[@m00ndweller]

If I was studying anatomy etc, I’d probably learn quickly and thoroughly because of videos like this being so relaxing that I watch them on repeat.

One time I had a swollen lymph node and didn’t know what it was so I had completely convinced myself it was a tumor, and it got worse because of my stress. So when the doctor was like “this? It’s just a swollen lymph node no biggie you probably had a cold” I burst into tears in relief so hard it scared her

[@DrJamesGill]

And i'm so anxious i can't even remember what i felt like before i noticed the node.

As someone with autism and a dislike for physical contact, I've had way too many uncomfortable experiences with doctors who don't explain their process but just get to it.

I'm glad you highlight this!

[@DellAnderson]

It is probably worth mentioning that the actual palpation must be quite firm and press deep enough to feel the lymph nodes. Not causing pain to a normal node but more than superficial light touch demonstrated on a plastic model. Lymph nodes are not on the surface as the model might imply.

[@DrJamesGill]

That’s very true. Thank you for that 😊

Thank you! This gave a much better visual where the lymph nodes are for my microbiology course! We are learning about microbial infections in the body and how important lymph nodes are :))

[@TheMayniyak]

Also one question. I didn’t know there were lymph nodes at the back of the neck. Are they there for a specific purpose or do they have the same purpose like for transporting immune cells like the other lymph nodes mentioned? Thank you, sorry if my question is confusing.

[@DrJamesGill]

ah yes. so you’ll be using the lymph nodes “backwards” ie here is the node, so the problem is there

[@DrJamesGill]

all the nodes are draining from different locations. so far example groin lymph nodes suggest pelvic issues. axillae suggest breast or possibility of lung issues

Very informative, thank you. I have an MPN (ET), and sarcoidosis, both rare disorders, and some other disorders. Recently I have noticed a lump on my neck, near my throat, which I’m unsure is lymph, salivary or thyroid issue (such as a nodule). When I was first diagnosed with sarcoidosis a consultant mentioned salivary gland, but no more mentioned, however that was before the ET dx. I plan to try to see my GP and ask to explore this, emphasising my conditions. It can be like a no man’s land when you have conditions and speak with a GP, as they can be quite dismissive to a patient’s concerns. (When you can get an appointment).

I had a lymph node that was hard for like 3 years until I finally told my doctor about it. The blood test came back negative for like leukemia or lymphoma. I got the lymph node or 3 taken out and it was all benign. Maybe I should have stuck with the blood test rather then get cut open to remove 3 lymph nodes. Plus the wound wasn't healing so the surgeon told me to put iodine drops twice a day and then the surgical wound finally started to heal up properly.
