A member asked:

Is it normal to be able to palpate epitrochlear lymph node? ultrasound said 959mm. should i get a biopsy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: A single palpable node usually indicates infection in the area below the node. Is there any lesion on that arm, even hang nails? You may watch and wait. You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
