Hey, but if its normal for me to be able to feel my nodes in my neck and groin since i am so slim, why does it say online that i should never be able to feel my nodes?

The internet contains a plethora of misinformation. Your ultimate source should be your primary care DR. They know your history and any problems you have had and what is normal for you. Lymph nodes are constantly activating to fight off minor infections in the skin, throat, sinuses, eyes and many other places. When activated, they increase in size and become more easy to detect.
