These could be old burnt out lymph nodes from mononucleosis or some other prior viral infections, but for peace of mind get examined by a physician and have a cbc & differential cell count. Any other appropriate tests will depend upon results of your history,system review and physical examination.

I've had feelable pea sized lymph nodes in my groin, neck, jaw and under my chin for 3 years now. They have never changed and I have no symtoms of lyphoma. Would this be something to worry about or is it just due to me being very slim? I'm 17 also?

I have pairs of pea sized lymph nodes all over my body like in my groin, neck, armpits, jaw, etc. I also have 2 pea sized nodes at the back of my head in my occipital area which are immovable. None of my nodes have changed over 6 months. Is this bad?

I know its normal for me to be able to feel pea sized nodes in my neck, groin and head since I'm very slim and Ive got no fat layers in them areas therefor I can feel my nodes more easily. But can I still feel them with no infection presant or past?
