Does anyone know if your glands can come up with stress and anxiety?

If you are stressed you are often also run down from the immune system point of view, so yes, I would say!

Where are the glands that you are worried about Zippy?

The one behind my left ear is up and i think thats why my arms aching.Also my side and left leg is aching.I have been under tremendous stress with my aunt dying 2 weeks ago and a breast lump scare.It seems like its just my left side though.

i think stress can affect your lymph nodes..sounds like u've been under immense stress. have u had an infection/cut anywhere nearby..as this can cause them to come up?
if it's still up in a week just get u'r gp to have a look at it.

Gosh, it sounds like you have been under IMMENSE stress, I am not surprised that your glands are inflammed, your immune system must be a bit battered.

I think a few early nights and some lovely food are in order for you!
