I have multiple baby shotty soft moveable lymph nodes i can feel posterior to my sternocleidomastoid muscle. and cervical. doc said they r ok. ?

Probably OK: Without personally evaluating these it is difficult to know what these are. Lymph nodes help clean up infection for a living and when they are earning their keep they may become mildly enlarged, generally soft, mobile and non-tender. Suspect your physician is correct.
