Hello,
Thank you for your consult at DoctorSpring.com.
I could not correlate Neck pain after drinking alcohol, but usually in Hodgkin's lymphoma, the pain is felt in the enlarged lymph glands in the neck or wherever the gland is present. Could you please clarify whether he has any palpable lymph nodes in his neck, shoulder, armpits, groins ?
Does he have gluten intolerance or any other form of immune disorders ? You could meet your doctor to have a complete physical examination to check if anything is abnormal.
Please let me know if you need more clarification.
Kind regards.
Patient replied :
He doesn't have any palpable nodes as far as I can tell and he has not been diagnosed with any autoimmune disorders or gluten intolerance so far. Any ideas on what he could be dealing with?
Hello,
From an Oncologist point of view this symptom alone is not suggestive of Lymphoma. As a matter of fact I do not think this anything serious. I could be a bad posture of the neck he keeps while drinking. I would recommend a Neck Xray and a Physical examination . This will rule out any lymph node enlargement for sure. Also any disc bulge / narrowing of vertebra can be ruled out.
Thank you
