Can lymp nodes stay 2cms forever ? i have mobile nodes for 2yrs now in groin & jaw & dr's say not to worry, but i do. i don't have infection.

Lymph nodes: May stay enlarged for lengthy time periods after infection or whatever inflammation prompted their enlargement. If they have been the same size for 2 years, are not tender, are mobile and not stony hard in consistency, the overwhelming probability is that they are entirely benign. If you continue to be concerned about these you might want to chat with a therapist.

I've had feelable pea sized lymph nodes in my groin, neck, jaw and under my chin for 3 years now. They have never changed and I have no symtoms of lyphoma. Would this be something to worry about or is it just due to me being very slim? I'm 17 also?
