hard, immobile glands

Hi,

Last January or so I found that I had a solid, immobile lump in my neck. I had an ultrasound on it, and multiple complete blood counts, and nothing detected anything as serious as cancer. I was told my white blood cell levels were slightly low, but nowhere near low enough to indiciate cancer.

In January of this year I found another lump, just below the other one. It's almost exactly the same; it's solid and it doesn't move. I can push the other one in a little bit, but this second one doesn't budge. They're both about the size of a pea, and neither of them have changed in size or anything like that. I'm worried about wasting the doctors' time going back for more blood tests. Both of them came about after illness in the winter months but they've both stuck around, too. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this?
