A member asked:

Is this noodle thing i feel on one side of my neck a middle cervical sympathetic ganglion nerve? about 0.3 cm wide 0.8 cm long. feels like tendon.

Unlikely, but...: This is unlikely to be related to the cervical sympathetic ganglion, unless you have a Schwannoma or other unusual situation. If you are concerned that there is something going on please see a physician for evaluation.

An US of neck showed 2 lymph nodes, one was 1.5cm x 0.9 cm in cervical area and Supraclavicular which was 0.5mmx0.4mm. From what I read, most of the the lymph nodes are oval and not rounded.Rounded shapes are more concerning. Is this the case?
