I had a severe cut to my finger which required removal of glass and stitches. Several days later I noticed the lymph nodes around my groin area became swollen. I have had fever and some night sweats. Other than being sore I go about my daily life. About 5pm. I will feel feverish. I take some Tylenol and then I seem to be ok. I was diagnosed with CLL a few months go, but white blood count has gone down. I went to my hematologist and he was puzzled. No sore throat or sign of lymph node activity anywhere else. He wants to wait another week of so and just see if the inflammation will go way.

Hello I have had swollen lymph nodes (in my neck) since I had a really bad sore throat and cold in April. It is mid June, and my lymph nodes are still swollen, they constantly ache and cause pain in my teeth. Sometimes they hurt more if I am tired, and less after sleep. It would be a great help if you could give me any ideas of what the problem is, and what I need to do to take care of it. Thank you so much for your help!

Personally, my lymph node under my right arm pit was related to the fact that I had a breast lump the size of a walnut under the same side of my right breast as the lymph node was discovered. However, the lymph node was puss and blood filled and I had put hot compresses on it which helped until I would be able to get to my oncologists office. My doctor luckily sent me for a breast MRI due to the fact that my mammogram didn't come back with the best results either! I treated it like acne and it actually worked to help relieve the pain and swelling and actually opened it up, let everything inside of it, out! It actually undid itself while was sitting at church and had raised my hand and put it back down, actually had to change my blouse when I got home its the hugest lymph node I ever had in whole life, it was really frightening to have too and painful, it had steadily become more and more painful and itchy as the days progressed!

I have had a couple of swollen lymph nodes in my neck just under my jaw for three months now, with no symptoms. Three ultrasounds and a blood test haven't given any clues as to why they are swollen thus far. I am seeing an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist next, hoping that he will have some answers.

I have swollen inguinal lymph nodes since my period started two days ago. I usually have severe cramps and pain, but I have never had swollen glands before during my period. I'm not sure if I should see a doctor now or wait to see if it goes away after my period.

My 70 year old female friend has had a very swollen leg for many, many years and has been in a lot of pain the whole time. She has just had tests done and they seem to think her swollen leg is due to lymph nodes.

I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck for about 2-1/2 months. I've had some achiness in the neck, along with some pain in my chest. I've also had night sweats off and on in during this period. My lower back hurts in the morning and it's hard to get up. I don't have any fevers, but I'm tired a lot of the time.
