A member asked:
Should i stop touching lymph nodes? i heard that if i keep touching them they might keep swelling. its just hard not to because of stress and anxiety

If you have swollen: lymph notes you need to see your doctor. Please see him/her to rule out possible medical conditions. Please visit a clinical psychologist because you MAY have an anxiety disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We create rituals or behaviors to control a largely un-controllable world. Peace and good health.
