Re: Lymph node advice...
Hello Limeslime
Unfortunately shotty lymph nodes generally do not go away. Shotty nodes are lymph nodes that were once reactive and thus enlarged for benign reasons and then never go away. I have a shotty lymph node on my neck that has been around for 2.5 years. This may be a situation that you have for the rest of your life and the real remedy is learning how to cope with having it on your body. I was just like you and CONSTANTLY touched my lymph node. I finally started using the CBT techniques I was learning in therapy and now I don't even think about it.
I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but sometimes our bodies don't go back to "normal" and we have to learn how to cope with the changes.
Best Wishes
