Hey, I've got several in my neck that I can feel (started off my HA pretty much). Anyway, Dr said just shotty nodes, ranging from a couple of mm's to a cm. had all sorts of tests but all clear.

My son has had a decent sized one for a year now. All Drs including a paediatrician have said its been up (since a bout of chickenpox I believe) and just never gone back down. This is very common apparently. I mentioned it to his Dr recently during an appt something unrelated and she said if it was anything of concern he'd be extremely ill by now.

I hope that helps. Im not going to tell you not to worry, it doesn't mean I think you've got something to worry about I just think it'd be hypocritical of me as I can imagine how you feel - I am currently having an episode of HA over a 'node' at the bottom/front of my ear. This is the parotid gland, it's hard and doesn't move so I am incredibly anxious! I'm having an ultrasound on it but my ENT specialist isn't concerned yet I am!

It's a lump. That's it. A node. Our bodies are full of them. Quit prodding. You're bound to find something if you try.
