Swollen lymph glands

How long do they last? I am extremely tense and sensitive right now. Some time I feel the slightest pain anywhere on my body. Do they hurt? Can they hurt one day and not the other?

Thank you! I will try not to feel them. Do they hurt before they swell up? I am nervous and extremely thankful for your advice. I am anxiously waiting for 8 more days until I can take my first test at 25 days and then the second at 42 days and then 3 months and 6 months. I am gonna take the oraquick.

they dont pain and hurt at all, they are only found under your jaw and armpit and groin area. if they are swellling, they are easily felt and seen, so dont search for them.
i had the same fears of my nodes, i found one under my armpit, was like 2-3 cms big and like a hill. imagine how i felt when i saw it, i ran to my doctor and i had ultra sound for it, it was a MUSCLE that was broken with me long time ago when i was practicing. so dont look for them. i understand you with my negative results and my knowledge for the girl i am still worried sometimes so i understand you, visit your docotr he/she will put peace in your mind when they will tell you that ALL of those are not ARS symptoms.
cheers and best of luck
