Swollen lyphnode in back of neck not painful should I worry?

I have been battling FMS symptoms since 2005 was recently d/n with celiac and within the last two months have notice a protruding lymphnode in the back of my neck on the left side the same side I have most of my pain from FMS.  Went to family physician and he made note of size of node and said it is nothing to worry about.  It does not hurt and is noticeable to touch but I still am concerned and wondering if I should get a second opinion? Can anyone give me advice as to what I should do or am I being paranoid?

I still have this lymph node on the left back of neck, it is about the size of a large marble hard and painless you can see it sticking out at the back of my neck.  I mentioned again to my doctor but he does not seem concerned, I am seeing a ENT in dec should I mention this to him?  Should I be worried?

My opinion, it's better to be safe then sorry when it comes to swollen lymph nodes. If your really concerned, by all means, get a second opinion.
