Question 1

i have two swollen lymph nodes on back of neck at night swell during the day they shrink some on right side under arm is sore but no knot please help?

Accepted Answer

Lymphadenopathy: Lymph nodes swell and fluctuate usually due to the inflammatory reaction of infection. Cancer at your age would be unusual, but not impossible. If it persists beyond a month, you should see someone who can evaluate it with a needle aspiration bx or similar diagnostic procedure.

Question 2

19 y/o, 2 movable lymph nodes in right armpit. not growing in size, sometimes aches, bad anxiety, docs don't seem bothered. can't stop worrying.

Accepted Answer

See if this helps: It's good that they are moveable and sore. Malignancies often are fixed and painless. Also good that the doctors are untroubled. It 'd be better if they were able to convey relief as well as lack of concern, but tight schedules make that hard. A likely cause is an infection of some sort. A cyst is also a possibility (nothing to fret about). Don't use anti-perspirant. Give it time, then ask again.

Question 3

sore left armpit for months. cannot feel swelling. but sometimes if i feel really hard i feel like maybe i can feel lymph nodes. what could this be? also the front of my neck has been hurting on the left side. it also causes my ears to hurt?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. 
In the meantime, start exercising. Begin with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity so that you sweat profusely. It may take a few months for the full effect.  Wish you good health!

Question 4

if you have a cold, can the lymph nodes under your arm pits be sore? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Sure: A cold attacks your whole body, really.  It is not usual to get swollen lymph nodes everywhere but it could happen.  Also a new deodorant, lotion or soap could do this too.  If the lymph nodes don't go away or get smaller in 2 weeks see your doc.  If you have fever over 101, pain in the nodes, trouble breathing, or anything else scary get checked today. (Don't squeeze the nodes often, check weekly

Question 5

if you have a bad cold can the lymph nodes under your arm pits get swollen and/or sore? what are some things that can cause this, if not the cold?

Accepted Answer

Could: happen.  Lymph nodes will get sore when body trying to fight off infections.  Could be due to the cold could be skin irritation. But wait until you feel better. If the nodes don't calm done look for other causes.   Since you are not feeling well I believe this is the cause

Question 6

i woke up today with sore, sensitive skin up and down my left forearm.  i also have painful lymph nodes under my arm and breast.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

LNs: Time to get an exam. Sensitive skin from elbow down forearm to 5th finger is often pressure on the ulnar nerve at elbow. But with axillary lymph nodes, time for an exam if they are enlarged, tender, etc.

Question 7

i noticed that my lymph nodes in my arm pits are swollen and sore but i feel fine, i don't have a family dr, should i got to a walkin or wait it out?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked out: Swollen tender lymph nodes in the arm pit could be due to an infection or something more serious.  this should be check out by your physician very soon.  Until you are seen, heat applied to the area may proofed some benefit.

Question 8

i feel painful aches where my lymph nodes are in my arms, behind my knees and the groin area. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No: Normal lymph nodes do not hurt. If they become painful or enlarged, especially if it happens in more than one location, a doctor's evaluation is needed. A primary care doctor is the person to begin with, and he can refer to specialists if needed.

Question 9

can the lymph nodes in your armpits hurt a few days before your period? i can't feel them but under my arms are a little sore. no visible difference

Accepted Answer

More likely breast: Rather than lymph nodes, I suspect that you have a bit of "ectopic" breast tissue in your armpits. This is not terribly rare. Some women have breast tissue in the armpits. Just as the rest of your breast can get swollen and hurt before your period, so can this tissue. Best to see a doctor at this point in your cycle to be sure.

Question 10

can you feel lymph nodes in chest and arms by elbow?i don't feel them but having minor aches there recent blood test normal ekg normal chest x-ry nrml

Accepted Answer

Elbow nodes R palp: To see Lymph nodes in chest may require CT scan.  I know not what you are worried about if aches are minor, you have not expressed reason for this fear. Please give more information as to your concern &amp; repeat question.
