Lymph nodes

You read on here all the time how people think they have swollen lymph nodes and such, my question is this...how likely is it that some of these people get enlarged and/or swollen lymph nodes fron constantly poking them? I know that I've read a single swollen node or even a couple swollen nodes are not an ARS symptom.

I don't think anybody has said a swollen lymph node isn't a big deal, if you read from all the well known medical sites you will see that a swollen node of more than 2 weeks needs to be diagnosed by a doctor....or you'll see that a painful/red swollen node needs medical diagnosis immediately

it is very likely when you probe at them they tend to become inflamed a little
