No mumps due to no fever or other signs- also it is only the left side.

Mostly just super painful when I eat, talk a lot or yawn.

Had a stressful day yesterday- tried to have a few sips of wine, on the 3rd or 4th sip I felt like someone was jiggling a knife in my glands

I know I could ride- my body feels fine, I actually did 45 minutes on the trainer last night in zone 1.. but I am a huge believer in not going over that when on antibiotics so the body can heal( I also have a horrible immune system with no thyroid and a recent history of lyme disease).

I think I need to see a new dr. b/c at my internist I only saw the PA and her thoughts were- it could be an infection, a stone or a cyst- it will pass, take antibiotics. But it has been this way for a week with no change and drinking protein drinks for meals is getting quite annoying( I end up breaking down and eating homemade soup for dinner but the chewing of the vegetables/meat leaves me in pain after)
