Alcohol and Lymph Nodes

[ross201]

Hi,

I know that pain in lymph nodes when drinking alcohol is a main symptom of lymphoma. However, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how bad this pain would be. I had a beer earlier and some of my lymph nodes (right side of my abdomen and armpit) started to ache. Atleast I think they were lymph nodes but I was wondering if this was just because my anxiety was causing this. Would they hurt very bad if this was the case?

Thanks

one beer probably wouldnt do it, and theres no way to know it was lymph nodes unless you could touch the sore node. i never heard the link between nodes and alcohol but im no doctor. but assuming it is true i wouldnt think one beer alone would affect anything.
