doc referring, can't figure out what's wrong, 32f 230lbs partial hysterectomy (have ovaries) in 2017 due to endo. Recently diagnosed PCOS after internal ultrasound. Massive weight gain within past year (80lbs) despite 900 cal diet and intermittent fasting. Whole body swelling, constant pain in feet, legs, back and pelvis area. I've had a slew of lab tests done and my doctor cannot figure out what is wrong. They are referring me to Hematology. They "don't want me to worry" so I'm getting half assed explanations. I'm frustrated and I really feel like my body is just giving up. My WBC has been elevated for over a year. I have attached pictures of my lab results. I have upcoming appointments for Hematology, a chest xray, CT scan of pelvis and Neurologist (daily headaches and vision issues) What would the point of a chest xray be if I'm not having difficulty breathing? Every time I ask for explanations they just skirt around it without giving me actual answers. I know speculation is not good but I would rather have an idea of what COULD be happening. https://imgur.com/a/sVjWCD9

Have they ever ruled out hypercortisolism with a suppression test ? I can't find in your tests cortisol and ACTH values either
Palpable Lymphnode for years no pain19, Male, 60, Very active and healthyHi there, 3 years ago I have noticed this lymphnode on the left side of my neck and when I turn my head to the other direction it feels huge. I have been to my GP and bloodwork was fine, he sent me to a surgeon who refused to do a biopsy and he sent to an infectious disease doctor who took LOADS of blood and it came back all good- I went back to the surgeon and he got tired of me and I pushed for hematology/oncology & he finally referred me there. When I went to the appointment she said she wasnt really worried and my blood was fine again. I have had 3 ultrasounds on it and it doesnt really seem to be getting bigger. Even after these 3 years it hasnt changed in size at all. Recently though I had a cold and a bunch of lymphnodes around it back enlarged and painful. They all went away but I was feeling this lymphnode again and its freaking me out. Its way bigger than my other nodes and it feels so hard. Im so irritated I never got a biopsy for it. Should I be concerned over lymphoma or no? Should I go back to the doctor? Please give me thoughts
Should I be concerned over lymphoma or no?You've had 4 physicians, multiple US, and blood work suggesting its fine. I'm not sure what else a physician over the internet is going to tell you at this point.Im so irritated I never got a biopsy for itWhy? Would you be irritated if it came back normal but you had a complication from the biopsy that you are still dealing with today? Would you be satisfied knowing the biopsy was normal, but there is a chance for a false negative?its freaking me outI think the bigger issue here is your anxiety. It does not sound well managed. This will lead you to never be satisfied regardless of what you do or have done. I would suggest your seek mental health therapy/counseling for this.
