My swollen lymph nodes, am I really in the clear?

Over the past months I had bloodwork, CT scans, ultrasound and a couple more things. They said they found nothing and the specialists who did the ultrasound said they were near enough normal size, its just because I'm very slim. However I'm still worried without a biospy that I could end up with something very bad? The lymph nodes are are in my neck, tiny ones in my groin and maybe one under my armpit (the specialist said there is just more blood flow under my armpit?).

Should I go back and request biopsy or am I being paranoid?

Insurance isn't the case here since I live in the UK, however I have not had any symptoms as far as I am aware. I have defintately felt more energy drained lately but I'm pretty sure that is due to the increased exercise I'm involved in. The doctor did say I had Rhintis and gave me Beconase nasal spray. Maybe this was the cause? I'm just so worried all the time!

I would doubt that the doctor would do a biopsy since they felt nothing was evident on any of the other tests.  Due to insurance restrictions and the fact that a biopsy is considered a surgical proceedure, most doctors would probably deny your request.  However, if your lymph nodes get any larger, you should see your doctor again.  Are you experiencing any other symptoms?
