Hey first time posting. So recently I discovered a marble sized lump in my groin. It's completely painless, with no swelling or anything. I decided to get it checked out by my GP ( which happened today). I fully expecting her to say it was a cyst or something else harmless, but she told me that it is a swollen lymph node. That in her words is "quite big". She has referred me for blood tests and an ultrasound and explained the likely explanation is an infection. However I don't have nor have recently had any signs of an infection, in fact I don't have any other symptoms at all. I came home and did some googling ( yes, I'm fully aware of how stupid and pointless this is) but it seems that if a lymph node is swollen due to infection, then it would be painful, and mine isn't. In fact a painless swelling seems to be of more concern. I know this is all redundant, and nobody will know until I have the tests. She did check the other lymph nodes in my abdomen and armpit and they were fine, but yeah I was all shock up after leaving the surgery ( I think I drove through a red light), but until I get those tests results, my anxiety will be off the charts. Anyone else been through anything similar?
