A member asked:
On a thin individual would it be possible to feel lymph nodes on the back of elbows?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is possible to feel lymph nodes in this area. The lymph node is a filter for bodily fluids that drain from the hand up into the central circulation. If there is an infection in the hand for example the filtering becomes more pronounced and the lymph node can enlarge.
