nodes
Does anyone else have pea sized nodes in their groin?
I have 3 on each side, hard and the size of big peas.

I know this thread is a few years old now but maybe it'll be picked up by people looking on their search engines in 2015. Anyway, I have only today received NEGATIVE results for HIV after freaking out that my Submandibular, groin, and epitrochlear nodes (also called cubital lymph nodes or cubital glands) are swollen.
My Submandibular are possibly larger than 1cm, the groin maybe are 1cm but plentiful, and the I know my epitrochlear nodes (also called cubital lymph nodes or cubital glands) are swollen more than 0.5cm.
Because my epitrochlear nodes (also called cubital lymph nodes or cubital glands) are swollen larger than 5mm and they are in exactly the area that so many websites say they should be, my anxiety went into overdrive because it seems all the internet says is Cancer or HIV but please don't take notice of the internet - you become blinkered so you don't even take in the other more rational explanations and you can only think the worst!
Epitrochlear nodes (also called cubital lymph nodes or cubital glands) swelling IS NOT always because of the most scary reason - my results are proof. Stress can do amazing things and so can the mind, it controls everything about your body and the mind is so powerful it can do things that you would not believe!
Stay calm, do not think the worst even as difficult as it seems, HIV is so hard to catch but the mind can easily convince a worried person otherwise.
Please, don't torture yourself, think rationally; lumps, bumps, they're everywhere on everyone!

Stand tall, be brave, walk into the test clinic and just get the test done. You are strong! Come what may you are STRONG!

I don't know if they're swollen. I just know they are there.
None of them hurt. The groin ones and the one near my jaw is hard tho.

thats the point.only a doctor could diagnose you with swollen lymph nodes. do not assume if it bothers you see you doctor. i was like that before self examining and self diagnosing it got me now where it just fueled my fears and anxiety.
I've got ones that I can feel in the groin on both sides, and 4 of them in my throat 2 on each side and one behind the jawbone just under my left ear.
One in each armpit as well...

During Ars Lymph nodes swell everywhere not only in one place. stay away from nodes.dont touch them prode them it will just make them swell.
