Question

I have a lymph node that is around half an inch or just below on the right side of my jaw. I also have a pea sized lymph node on other side of my jaw. I also have other pea sized nodes beside my groin and on my neck but I've been told this is normal because in slim. I've had all the lymph nodes for around 2 years. The lymph node in my jaw has never changed and its very movable. I also have no symtoms of it being enlarged due to lymphoma. What else could possible be cuasing this? The only thing that is says online for a lymph node being swollen for a long Time is cancer but I've no symtoms of cancer apart from just having a lymph node swollen for an extended amount of time.

    Hi, I think we're having similar issues! I've had a small hard moveable ball in my left jaw for some time now, and lots of palpable lymph nodes elsewhere (doctors have said because I'm slim) although there are a few larger ones. Doctors have said there's nothing to worry about though :/ Have you had any scans for yours? what were the results?

    I had a scan around 2 years ago and everything was fine but the nodes are still enlarged. I think there just swollen due to a past infection because I have no symptoms or signs of them being due to lymphoma. That's my reasoning for the bigger ones that are around half and inch. Then the smaller ones in my neck and groin etc are just probably feelable because I am slim
