Can you feel normal sized lymphnodes as knots or small bumps around carotid artery? i have a sensitive feeling so maybe they r not enlarged?please hel

Yes: You have lymph nodes in your neck close to the carotid arteries. It may be completely normal for you but if it is a new finding to you, have it checked out by your MD.
