Re: Lymph node on back of neck hurts to press. Worried about it.
Mark, Good for you that you’re moderating your own fear response.
If you’re worried about lymphoma, those nodes feel nothing like a normal swollen gland, and they don’t hurt. They also don’t go up and down like that. I’ve had lymphoma so I know.
Normal swollen nodes get sore, go up and down, etc. Your lymph system is designed to flush the crap out of your system, and they’re good at it. That’s why they swell sometimes. And they also will swell if you continue to palpate them.
