Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the body where they do their work sifting/cleaning the lymph fluid. A thin person with movable pea sized nodes in the places cited is normal. You can't fix normal, nor do you obsess about serious disease at their presence. See your doc yearly for a regular health exam and enjoy life.

You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

I have can feel nodes on my neck, groin and jaw. They feel pea sized and I've had them for 3 years and they haven't changed, I also have no symtoms of lyphoma. Could this just be due to me being very slim? I'm also only 17?

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?

My doctor told me that my lymph nodes feel fine. I have pea sized nodes in my neck, jaw and other locations. I've had them for 3 years without change and I've no symptoms of lymphoma. Why are these nodes feelable? Is it just because Im slim?
