If the doctor wasn't concerned, you shouldn't be either.

FWIW, I did have one in that location and it was up for YEARS. Seriously, years. Doc wasn't concerned, ran some bloodwork but all was well. I just noticed a few months ago that it went down and I can't feel it anymore. So go figure.

Lymph nodes can come up for any number of reasons, it's just a sign your immune system is working.

Also - some people have more prominent nodes than others. Trust the doc!
