    Just found a lump under my jaw.

    I read a thread on this site about this subject so decided to check my own jaw, and of course i found a small lump on the left side. It's movable so i'm guessing it's a lymph node? The lump is totally painless as well.

    Now i know lymph nodes fight infections, but i can't think of anything recently that could have caused this? I did have a minor sore throat after a night out that lasted about 2 days around a week or so ago? Also a couple of months ago i was having bad throat problems that lasted on and off for a few weeks. Could these be the reason?

    After having HA for about 2 years now i know not to check google as it will make my anxiety sky rocket.

    Is this something i should be worried about and get checked by a dr?

    Wow really? I always imagined enlarged nodes would be painful and tender, but mine is totally painless, i had no idea it was there until just now.
