A member asked:
I have swollen lymph nodes that are under my arm pit and legs that hurt. is this normal or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenopathy: Lymph nodes swell and fluctuate usually due to the inflammatory reaction of infection. Pain also usually means infection and not cancer. If bacterial in origin, then antibiotics may help. If it persists beyond a month, you should see someone who can evaluate it with a needle aspiration bx or similar diagnostic procedure.
