How do you know some of these

How do you know some of these nodes are enlarged? Those locations are typically tough to tell without scans. at any rate, I think you should be checked out by a doctor. are you having any other symptoms, such as fevers or night sweats? do your lymph nodes hurt when you drink alcohol? enlarged nodes don't necessarily mean lymphoma, naturally-- they could indicate the body's immune response to any sort of antigen. in lymphoma, however, enlarged nodes are always painless (if you can feel them with your fingers).
