Yes: It is pretty common to not even be able to feel lymph nodes. Usually the easiest place to feel them is in your neck under your chin. Superficial thrombosis is almost always in the legs and often below the knee. It is easy to feel and is rarely as localized in area as small as a lymph node would be. If it is in your leg and is red, not, tender, and lumpy, you are probably dealing with phlebitis.

Superficial thrombosis appears red, painful cords in vv, IV sites often in the soft tissue parts of the body.
