What are the symptoms of swollen lymph nodes?

Symptoms of swollen lymph nodes vary widely. A person could be completely free of symptoms (asymptomatic) and only found when they are noted by a doctor during a general physical examination.

Sometimes, swollen lymph nodes can be extremely tender, painful, and disfiguring.

More importantly, other symptoms related to an underlying disease that accompany the lymph node swelling may be more significant and clinically relevant than the lymph node swelling alone. For instance, symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, or evidence of local infections (toothache, sore throat) may provide valuable clues in determining the cause of lymph node swelling.

I started out with chronic lower back pain. I also have multiple joint and bone pain, am tired, and nauseous. My white blood count has been high for about a year and my red blood count is low. My platelets are high – up to 535. The lymphocytes were high, but are now normal, but my neutrophils are high and I have some lymph glands that are swollen. I don't know what could cause this

For the last six months, I've had aches and pains throughout my body. I have a very high white cell count and have lymph glands the size of golf balls in my neck. Now, during the past month, I've been breaking out in red-dotted sores. I don't know what this could be.
