A member asked:
So is it impossible to feel normal sized lymphnodes in neck along carotid artery? feels like very small knots but i have very sensitive feeling.......

Nodes: there is great variation in what people feel and interpret from their sensations. The best you can get is your own sensations unless you become a physician and palpate a large range of necks with known lymph node status. Other 'knot' sensations are also possible.
