I just returned from the doctors. I only have a soft tissue injury. What does that mean?

---

I know it means there are no fractures. My regular doctor wasn't available so I saw a different doctor who did x-rays and all just didn't answer my questions. My arm throbs a lot even when it is at my side. Is this normal, and would a sling help? I was up most of the night in pain what if anything will help with that? I feel on my wrist if that helps any advice is appreciated.

Would a soft tissue CT scan of the neck show if I had a mass in my throat?

---

Had a CT of the neck -soft tissue for enlarged lymph nodes, showed nothing I was told. I keep having neck and jaw pain and my health anxiety is kicking in and I am worried I have a mass somewhere that maybe the CT didn't show...
The CT shows everything in that area. If there was any kind of mass it would have been seen.  (+ info)

What does it mean to find soft tissue near the lymph nodes?

---

My father had a test done involving drinking barium due to stomach pains. They first thought it was his gall bladder. His gall bladder was fine, but the doctor said the radiologist found some soft tissure near the lymph nodes. The doctor wants my father to get a C Scan, but did say the radiologist may be being overzealous. I am trying to prepare myself for the worst. Does anyone know anything about this and what it could mean?
Hello,

I'm sorry about your father's problem.

'Soft tissue' is the medical word for 'flesh,' so it doesn't quite make sense to say that there was some flesh near the lymph nodes. My guess is that the report said there was 'soft tissue swelling,' - - 'flesh swelling,' near the lymph nodes. That would mean that the lymph nodes were inflamed or sore in some way, and that the flesh around them was also affected.

A CAT scan would help to clarify what the problem is, but it might be worth asking why a CAT scan is better for this than an 'MRI' scan which is especially good at showing up soft, fleshy tissue.

Your doctor is clearly not too worried, - - this bit about over-zealousness means that the barium meal X ray *is otherwise completely normal.* No stomach ulcer, no stomach cancer, no stomach outflow obstruction, and no duodenal ulcer has been shown.

Presumably the doctors are investigating your father for indigestion-type stomach pains? If no 'structural,' i.e. gross physical cause has been found for the indigestion, either in the stomach, duodenum or gall-bladder, - - then your father might just have an 'H.' ('helicobacter') stomach infection which would respond completely to triple-antibiotic tablets. Perhaps he has had, or will have, a breath-test for the 'H.' germ?

The doctor is not too worried, and I think you should not be too worried either. This is a good result from the barium meal, - - all negative except for some soft tissue swelling around the lymph nodes.

Inflamed or sore lymph nodes might be a reaction to stomach infection, or sometimes to the spread of a cancer. But if no trace of cancer has been found in the stomach, this latter seems unlikely.

I hope this is of some help.

Best wishes,
