A member asked:
I have many palpable posterior cervical triangle lymph nodes. i have had an ultrasound and ct. both came back normal saying the lymph nodes arent even enlarged. why can i feel them? i should mention, i am very thin?

It's common and normal to feel small lymph nodes under the skin, especially in thin persons. You can rely on the ultrasound and CT results. Your doctor probably said much the same, right? Discuss with her if you remain concerned.
