I am so thankful of that. You put this on the Internet because I’ve been dealing with my children having lymph nodes, and I’ve been having health anxiety for a very long time with them and doctors are telling me they’re fine, but I can’t get over it and the more I find the more crazy things that I worry about and now that I found you I can finally start to rationalize a little bit and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much.

You have to take in advance also the layer of skin that adds extra "thickness" to the node.

[@complexsonicz9239]

Ohhhh thanks lol

[@blackridgeproductions2738]

Yes! It took me a while to realize this. I took a 1cm bead I had laying around in my craft drawer and I put 3 layers of microfibre cloth over it and it felt 50% larger than 1cm... the fat and skin (even muscle) increase the width you’re feeling. An ultrasound would show its real size and not the altered size with the thickness of skin over top.

Thank you for this informative video💙. Last year I was worried about lymphoma as well. I was getting all of the symptoms because I had read all of the lymphoma symptoms on google to give myself some reassurance that I didn’t have the symptoms but I ended up getting pretty much all of the symptoms a few days later. I would constantly feel for lymph nodes in my neck, armpits, and groin every 10 minutes. I was scared to check but I also was scared to not check this vicious cycle lasted for about 2 months. I remember shaving under my arms and after a few weeks later I developed a lump there it was quite small but painful. I instantly went into a full blown panic attack because I knew it was a swollen lymph node. My doctor told me that it was just an ingrown hair cyst from when I shaved and she also said it’s more common for ethnic people like me to get them. I was very reassured and the ingrown hair cyst shrunk every time that I would take a bath or shower.

[@cherellethinks]

AbrianaXOXO Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story. I think a lot of us fear lymph nodes but they’re there to help us and that’s what I try to remind myself when I go into panic mode. I’m so pleased to hear you’re feeling better. 😊

Keep posting! Amazing videos to help stop the dangerous cycle of health anxiety. ❤️

[@jamesburgin8168]

I wish I had seen your videos 5 years ago because I had a lymph node in the neck/supraclavicular area. Had I known it was measured by the width I wouldn't have been so concerned. Instead, I went to several doctors who all kept saying to come back in x number of weeks. They weren't terribly concerned but I worried about it for almost 7 months. For nothing. Turns out, it wasn't enlarged at all. In short, I think the best advice you have given is to do an eye exam first and don't even mess with actually feeling for the lymph node because most of us don't know what we're really looking for anyway.

[@rubiyasayed5705]

I am at your situation now! 😢

[@jamesburgin8168]

@@rubiyasayed5705 It depends on where the lymph node is located but, if it's in the neck or the supraclavicular area, the first thing I will say is to stop and think about whether or not you have had a cold, a sore throat, a tooth ache or an earache within the last couple of weeks or so. If that's the case--then don't worry as an enlarged lymph node is actually a good sign. Hard to believe, I know, but it's your body's defense mechanism doing its job. So that's good. LIkewise, don't touch it! Otherwise, you could cause it to stay enlarged longer than necessary. Last thing, if it lasts longer than 3 weeks or so--or if it is really large--then go see a doctor. In any case, I hope everything goes well.

[@rubiyasayed5705]

@@jamesburgin8168thank you for your opinion ❤ I have chronic tonsils but not infected and recently I did not get fever. But I have one enlarged lymph node in my neck for more than one year.

[@jamesburgin8168]

@@rubiyasayed5705 I imagine you've already been to a doctor on this but, if not, then I would mention this at your next appointment. Quite honestly, I don't think you have anything to worry about at all. Keep in mind that the actual statistics for a lymph node signifying cancer is about 1.1%. And your lymph node doesn't sound like anything to even be concerned about. Also, it would be good to remember that lymph nodes essentially trap viruses and bacteria and, when they do, they go into a node where they are killed and then recycled. Sometimes it takes a lot of time. Also, if you have "chronic" tonsillitis then your node will probably stay slightly enlarged during the whole time. Quite honestly, if I were you (and I also have a lymph node--in my supraclavicular area no less--which has not gone down) I would not worry about it.

@@sindia.x4212 It wont go cause its normal to be that size. Mine are permanent... 0.5cm is normal so it will never go away or shrink... That is just the size of it. It is normal for it to be a full 1cm and it wont go away. It is also normal to ocasionall have a "shotty node" which means its over the size of 1cm and it wont shrink. People get those from injury to them or from past infections and they will just always be that size. yours will most likely be there at that size for your whole life because we have nodes all through us that are those normal sizes for life.

It’s been almost 4 weeks and if I lay on my back it feels like it’s going down but if I lay on my stomach it’s very much there. It freaks me out because I feel like it’s not going down.

[@ShisamiiGames]

Sometimes they don’t go down to their original size. You did have Covid so that could explain why it was enlarged.

I have had a bad cold on and off for 15 days now and i have one in my neck about the size of the 5mm one, it hasn’t grown at all but its moveable and its not that soft and its not painful thats why im worried, is that normal as well?

Hi Cherelle, what do you think if i have many, and they seem smaller than the one which is one cm. But they are not all the same in shape, are they can be said normal? I have many, all are small but not in the same size and shape, is it possible to be normal?

I have palpable node in armpit, is it normal. It’s not swollen but you can feel it when touch

[@keishaharden798]

i have this too

[@asrimaampuan2398]

Probably it's normal. Normal palpable lymph nodes can be found in neck, armpit, and groin. As long as it is 1 cm in diameter, it's normal. I have one too in my armpit.

I can feel a lymph node in the back of my head. Right near my hairline area. It’s an occipital lymph node and I can hardly move it. It gives me so much anxiety.

[@justynakopel3519]

I also have a palatable occipital lymph node! It doesn't really move, is quite hard, and I thought it was massive. I was SURE I had lymphoma, so i went to have an ultrsound yesterday (it has been going on for months). The ultrasound showed a 3mm, completely normal lymph node. Doctor explained to me, that there is not really any space for it to move + skin on the back of the neck is much thicker than in the front so it seems even bigger. Other specialists have said the same thing before. An ultrasound is really a good assurance, but really, I was SO scared

[@crystalburton3232]

@@justynakopel3519 is the lymph node near your hairline? The ultrasound showed that my lymph node was about 1.1 cm

[@yellowfrog2259]

If it isn't movable it's most likely a cyst. if it hurts or bleeds, then have a doctor help you. (that was information from Google and some cysts are movable)

[@spicy_pisces94]

So i have a hard lymph node each under my right and left ear right bellw the corners of my jaw. Cervical lymph nodes. The one on the right is about 1 cm and the one on rhe left is a little smaller, but both are pretty hard and not moveable. Maybe not bone hard like more rubbery hard but not moveable. However they have been there since early 2017 and havent ever grown. I have had itchy skin but thats been a progressive thing due to a slow spreading rash that im almost positive is a yeast infection thats fed off of sugar from years of uncontrolled insulin resistant pcos/type 2 diabetes. Does not look like a lymphoma rash to clarify. I have dealt with shortness of breath lately but i think thats from eating big meals/anxiety. How concerned should i be?

[@FahadZahr]

How did you calculate the oval shape one? Cause the long axis seems to be longer than 1cm, are we supposed to take the short axis in account?

[@valeriecortes804]

this is my concern too. in my ultrasound it was 2 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm . The 2 was freaking me out but she only considered the short axis in the video and I read someone posted on reddit the same thing, that they look for the short axis

[@FahadZahr]

Your node size plz

[@reganawale6525]

Thank you for replying. ☺️ I am very much thrilled that someone actually replied to me. Yes. I am completely fine and healthy. I had it checked and the doctor said there was nothing to worry about it. He said if I want then he can remove it or I can just forget about it as it is completely harmless. However, he suggested me that I have it checked if it every grows in size or if I develop any sort of pain around that area.

if you have to do it very hard then it's most likely normal, but if you're still scared about it, it's good to have a doctor tell you that it's ok to put your worries to rest. Worrying is completely useless and horrible.

Yah well I have 4 "abnormal" in my neck (2 on each side) measuring 2.2x1.8x1.9. No one cares. I cant feel them under my skin either and they were found while removing my parathyroids years ago(were not that big then ..only 1cm then). I have a fat neck and cant even feel them now I guess. They are growing too(obviously as these last measurements I posted were from Dec 2022) . All my doctors just keep saying "wait and watch" or "maybe they are reactive" reactive to what?? Im not sick and my parathyroid surgery was in 2017. I have other symtoms but no one seems to think it is a concern or that its their job to help. Oh well.
