Numbness/tingling/slight swelling in face

Posted By: input needed - am I overreacting? on 2008-08-08

I had a 1-hour massage 2 days ago.  I have problems most with my neck and upper back being tight and sore, limited ROM...wonder why?? lol


This morning I had a fullness in the right supraclavicular area, kind of fluidy, and a sense of it being "full" but no pain.  Later on I noted numbness, tingling and very slight swelling in the right side of my face. 


As far as I know, I didn't get a bug bite or eat something I am allergic to.  This happened last year two or three times, but much more swelling and numbness (looked almost like Bell's palsy).  These other times I never felt the fluidy fullness in my neck like today...this time because it started in my neck, I was worried it was due to some lymphatics draining in my neck.  The fluidness feeling is gone but I have a more definite area of supraclavicular swelling and it is painful to palpate.


I am thinking of going to our ER/walk-in clinic to get it checked out...or should I just wait it out and see what happens? 


BTW, I am waiting for my Rheumatology referral, due to chronically elevated sed rate (76 last time), low positive CRP and slightly positive RF.  Joint and muscle pains abound...


Thanks in advance.
