Hi - i have had a lymph node i can feel when i turn my head a certain way for about 2 years now. i'm worried it's something bad.

Relax: If the lymph node has been present for 2 years and isn't changing, is small (pea sized) and moveable...it is likely benign. However, if it is large, fixed or increasingly painful, it would be advisable to let a doctor check it out and make sure it isn't something that needs to be worked up further. Hope this helps!
