Lumps behind knees? Lymph nodes? Freaking!

[Amila]

I just got the clear with all my other worries...ovarian cancer, leukemia...CBC came back ok. So god forbid I let myself relax and not worry for one day :(

I know there are lymph nodes behind the knee, but are you supposed to be able to feel them? Mine aren't enlarged according to the standards for swollen lymph nodes, but I can feel them. Like small bean shaped moveable fatty lumps. several behind both knees...please tell me this is normal! I can't feel them on my kids or husband.

I can feel them I think.

I have quite a few myself, they have been there for years and they are quite big.

There's lots of stuff in there, tendons, ligaments and whatnot as well as the nodes. The more I poke, the more I feel, but I've just poked my housemates as well (I'm not weird, honest!) and they feel the same.

Thanks! Sometimes I feel so stupid for getting upset about things like this that are probably so silly, but it feels so real and scary at the time :( Thanks for the replies!
