A member asked:
Hey, ive been told that i have normal lymph nodes in my neck. does this mean that my lymph nodes are not swollen and feelable due to me being slim? or does it mean that there enlarged and just normal? thanks?

It means they are normal. They can be felt in many healthy people by good node feelers. I would appear that you are in that category. See if you can feel them in other normals would be my advice. Ask permission to feel them first however.
