swollen lymph nodes??

hi
umm i am nearly 15 and i have only lately started to actually notice health concerns and take interest in them.

About 12 weeks ago i found 3 lumps on each side of my groin. i sort of got a bit worried and started to investigate. I then read something about swollen or enlarged lymph nodes. it was then when i remembered i had several lumps in my neck, 1 lump behind each ear and a couple of lumps under my chin which had been there for nearly as long as i can remember (4-5 years maybe). i never told anyone because i spose i was to young and really wasnt aware of these things as much and i basically forgot about them. 2 weeks after i found i had 1 lump under my left arm.

I am quite worried and will probably go and see a doctor shortly. All i am asking for is a bit more info on these lumps. I am also just curious why i have had the lumps in my neck, chin and behind ears for so long and only just recently found lumps in these other places which i am pretty sure were not there before. If you have any info please share.

thans.

i am a 20 year old i know what its like to suddenly be aware of your body. and its true things always seem a lot worse than they are. panic sets in. if you have had these lumps for years and years you would probably have more symptoms by now if it was something worrying. i have had lumps in the lymph area's for two years. i went to the docs and they ran bloods. all came back negetive and all well. the tests are reashuring, but any lumps should be looked at by the doctor, so i would say you should see one as soon as you can, hope i have helped. amy x

mph nodes are sometimes palpable. especially if you go looking for them. there may be absolutely nothing wrong with you but to help set your mnd at eas it is probably a good idea to see an MD and have some bloodwork
