Do not say go to a dcotor because I can't afford it except through my college and the pple in there are rude, I had catsratch once and they ignored me for over five months, told me not to poke my lymph nodes until I couldn't stand up anymore... I was that sick and they didn't even catch it I had to pay MORE money. I am realllllllly low on money right now and trust me there are no other options(poor college student w/ no insurance so I have to pay cash).
Anyways I have a large HARD lump in the back of my neck for a while, I also had what I think was bronchitis in June/July. During this time I started gaining weight like crazy as well. The lump has gotten bigger over time, it's about 2 inches and it only hurts when I touch it. Recently my lymph nodes are swollen but I feel fine and not sick at all. What does this sound like and could the lump on the back of my neck contribute to the weight gain? (20 lbs luckily I was really thin so I am still at a healthy weight for my height)

The thing is no one here can say exactly what's going on with you, so anything we say would just be a guess. The lump could be anything from an abscess to a tumor. I know you dislike your college clinic but that may be your best choice right now. Maybe this time you'll be able to deal with a person who is more helpful.

Go to the local county run hospital. Often they will help people with no medical insurance for free.

You need to find a county hospital in your city. They will help you.
Talk to your parents. Maybe they will foot the bill. It may be serious!!!
