A member asked:
What exactly does a mobile lymph node feel like? are nodes that are just somewhat moveable still considered fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A fixed node means: that it's attached to the underlying or surrounding tissue.Being able to feel the difference is a matter of experience,to a certain degree.
