Swollen Lymph nodes?

[stupidandscared]

Is it normal to feel lymph nodes in your neck and in your ground?  (The area that that creases when you are sitting).  They are not huge but feel like little pea's?  Any imput would be appreciated.

Well, no you shouldn't actually be able to feel lymph nodes. The way you should feel normal areas where your lymph nodes are located, take 3 fingers and run them together across the anterior portion of your forearm. Any lump is a sign of your body fighting something. That's your body letting you know something's wrong. That's what swelling of all kind does. God created us that way :) if it's painful or tender, try hot compress. You may just have a cold or bacterial infection. But if they're not painful or tender, and don't go away after a few weeks or get bigger, than consult a doctor! Could be cancer. Not to worry you, but be sure rather than sorry. Best bet, get an ultrasound!

I have been able to feel mine in my neck for over 10 years.  I also had one removed back then, too, but w/o any consequence besides getting an infection.  I now have three more that I am also worried about, too.  I am unsure of what to do...

I also have noticed that my lymph nodes have swelled up. I can only feel them on my left side however. There is a large visible bump on the left side of my neck thats sensitive when i touch it. When i run my fingers along the swelling i can feel 2 more bumps below it. They feel like its all attached hence why now i understand the 'bean' synonym i keep hearing but its been this big for a week now. What should i do? The biggest one measures out to about 3/4ths of a golf ball.

I can feel mine on my left side of the groin also. I can also feel small ones in my neck along the side. The more I touch them, the bigger they get. If I leave them alone they get smaller but are always there. IS THIS NORMAL?

I have posted the same question, i am able to feel mine and if it makes you feel any better so have a few of the people I have asked. I can only feel on one side (the flesh feel thinner on that side)

The ability to feel lymph nodes in your neck, arm pit and other parts is normal in many cases (they can swell by with a slight infection etc). Blood work can normal reveal is there is a risk of cancer, but I wouldn't worry too much about being able to feel lymph nodes.
