Question 1

several tender swollen lymph nodes in neck for 6 weeks each side. blood test normal. intense hip pain and knee pain. is the joint pain related?

Make your apt with your health care provider in the next week if possible.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: From what you described you are unlikely to have HIV from the encounter in question. You should get a HIV nucleic acid test at 6 months after exposure. You may have acquired other infections, herpes is not prevented by a condom. It would be prudent to see a doctor for an evaluation.
Get HPV vaccine.
Wish you good health!

Question 3

how to get rid of swollen lymph nodes in back of knee?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react. They shrink when all is well.

Question 8

what could be causing my symptoms? severe pain in achilles tendon and knee, as well as swollen lymph nodes in groin and leg?

Accepted Answer

Swollen lymph nodes: See your family doctor sooner rather than later .  Any time there is lymph node involvement  warrants a visit to the dcotor.  The achilles and knee pain may or may not be part of the lymph node involvement .

Question 9

Unrelated: The mucous in the stool is probably unrelated, and could represent an infection if you also have diarrhea. Ask your doctor if stool studies are appropriate. Hope this helps!

Question 10

had ablation in left leg below knee in september of 2020. have had swollen lymph nodes (feels ropy) ever since inside the thigh running from above knee about 3/4 up the thigh. last two days sore and bumpiness very noticeable with a red streak?

Accepted Answer

Potentially serious: What kind of “ablation”?  Regardless, if you’ve had prior surgery on your leg and now the leg is “sore” with “a red streak” could be ascending lymphangitis.  Even more worrisome if you feel poorly overall with sweating, weakness, chills or fever.

If no chills, fever or feeling poorly, have leg looked at in AM.  Could be ascending lymphangitis
If yes chills, fever or feeling poorly, to ER tonight
