Swollen Lymph Nodes? Or Something More? ?

Question

Here is some background information: I fractured my neck in February 2007. I have been going to a chiropractor to strengthen my neck again. My neck is feeling better, but I continue to get neck/head aches on regular basis. So I am pretty used to them.

Now here is my question and a little detail: Last Saturday night I noticed a big bump on my neck. When I woke up on Sunday, it had gotten bigger and there were a lot more than the previous night. As each day goes by, the get bigger and rock hard. I can't move them and they hurt very badly! I have the worst pain I have ever experienced in my head! (even worse than my neck injury) I have open sores all over my head and they bleed a lot. The biggest sore covers about half of my head and then the other side has big ones that don't touch. My mom says I have a viral infection and it is effecting my lymph nodes and the infection is coming out through my head. We do not have health insurance, but I feel like it is more than just a virus.

Does anyone know what it is? Has anyone experienced something like this? Please help me! I have been suffering for a week and a half now!

Answer 1

not to scare you it may(very unlikely) be the black plauge from the sounds of it. Are the soars black and have a ring around them? But best of all go see a docter I'm not one but that's the best explanation I have the plague does claim about 50 people a year but with treatment about 49 out of 50 live.

Answer 2

Since this is life threatening you should go to the emergency room for treatment. No one has any idea what this could be so you need to be examined by a doctor. Check with the hospital to see if they offer the Hill-burton program . . which is basically free or low cost health care coverage to qualifying patients . . otherwise . . pay out of pocket as your life is certainly worth it:
