What does it mean if you have swollen lymph nodes and joint pain?
8 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
See your doc: Swollen lymph nodes associated with joint pain can be due to an infection, immune system disorder (such as rheumatoid arthritis) see your doctor for a physical exam as well as various lab/blood test to evaluate further and rule out other serious diseases.

Infection likely: Lymph node involvement indicates an immune response; usually the presence of an infection. Some infections can enter a joint space, causing pain and swelling, heat and redness.

It depends: While swollen lymph nodes and joint pain could be from an infection, these symptoms may be signs of a more serious condition. You should see your doctor for further testing to determine the cause.
