Ask as often as you wish, the answer will not change. Lymph nodes are normal body structures that can be felt if not buried under muscle or in fat. If you are concerned have this discussion with your doc who can examine and decide the importance of what you feel.

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!
