Hey, i know its normal for me to be able to feel pea sized nodes in my neck and groin since i am 16 and very slim. but is it normal for me to be able to feel them even with no infection presant or past presant?

Yes, it is normal. Once the lymph nodes enlarge due to an infection, they may stay enlarged for years as you described. These nodes typically stay the same size. If your nodes are progressively getting larger, then you need to consult with your doctor.
