A member asked:

Is it normal to be able to feel lymph nodes in certain places around the body and when the body is in certain positions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: Lymph nodes are like little beans. The feel like beans of various sizes but similar shapes. Areas of multiple enlarged beans can mean a problem. If the beans grow together in a mass and start to stick together or onto something else, that can mean a big problem. Individual, movable nodes that grow to a nickel in diameter are usually ok in kids, teens, or young adults, but may need a doctor's exam.
