Slightly Swoller Lymph Nodes - Normal?

[nogone]

I have two slightly swollen lymph nodes on the left of my neck, and I am wondering if they are normal size. I recently saw my primary care physician who said I just had a gland that popped out and that I they weren't large enough to cause concern.

The largest is about the width of my index finger (maybe half and inch) and they have been palpably present for a little less than a year now. Should I push for further investigation? Is this a normal size for lymph nodes in the neck?

Doesn't sound like a threat to me, but then again my lymph node swelled up like the size of an apple which which was apparently Hodgkins disease.  My doctor told me that if it doesn't hurt when you press on it (which was my case), it is more dangerous.  

Your's is probably nothing, though it wouldn't hurt to see your doctor again and make sure that it is not a problem.  Lymph nodes usually swells up a little when the body is fighting viruses (cold, flu, etc) or if there's an open wound.
