A member asked:
I can't tell if my lymph nodes are swollen there are no bumps but my neck muscles feel bigger how can i check if they're swollen?

See a doctor: A doctor is trained to palpate for lymph nodes. Your neck muscles feeling "bigger" can mean things other than your lymph nodes are at play. Depending on your specific clinical needs, the doctor can determine if further diagnostics like x-ray imaging is needed.
