Question 1

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: There are too many possible answers to your problems. They may be unrelated to each other. You should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 3

are there lymph nodes located around my ankle?

Accepted Answer

No: No, there aren't any lymph nodes around your ankle.

Question 4

can a twisted ankle be the cause of swollen lymph nodes in the groin?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Groin nodes enlarge when the body is trying to clear an inflammation or infection of the limb they drain. An ankle sprain could causes unilaterally swelling (one side only). But one must rule out another cause first (infection particularly)  before attributig it t an ankle injury.

You should: You should let your doctor evaluate this problem to see if it is serious.

Accepted Answer

: New exercise? Moving? Walking?m We all have lymph nodes in our necks. Most likely cause of increased size (if they are increased) would be common colds. Your body is talking to you. Listen and take good notes. Share with your Drs and you all will figure it out. In the meantime you might want to invest in a 1 month subscription to uptodate.com and read all about it. Then you will know something.

Question 7

are there lymph nodes in you foot?

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 bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc everywhere. 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

are there lymph nodes on the back of your leg. i have one on the back of my leg by my knee and it moves and does not hurt should i get it checked

Accepted Answer
