I had a lymph node scare a few years ago. They seemed really large to me, so I went to my doctor. He poked, prodded and rubbed around and said that some people have big lymph nodes and I am one of them (my right one is large)! Absolutely nothing wrong. It's always a good idea to get them checked out if they are worrysome. Mine became a bit tender from feeling them all the time as well.

I found two lumps a while ago just under my ear, one big and one slightly smaller, I was really scared as to what they could be and went to the doctors and they said it was just a gland that had been scared which is common but some don't go away, mine has still not gone away but I know that it is not cancerous or dangerous so I just pretend it's not there any more.

Hope this helped :)
