Re: Lump side of neck in the crevice of Jaw and below the ear
phaven1,
I'm sorry your dealing with lymph node anxiety. I dealt with this for 2.5 years and it is awful. I worried incessantly about a lymph node that ended up being nothing at all.
It's really important to ground yourself in reality. The reality is that you went to a medically trained professional who not only told you that it was nothing to worry about but also gave you evidence by saying its too small to do anything with. The best advice I can give you is to stop checking it. That is going to take a lot of self control but you can do it. Have your doctor at your physical check it again if you're still worried and if you get the all clear, move on. Worrying about it "randomly getting huge" is doing you no good. Take a few deep breaths when you think about it and ground yourself in the reality that a doctor has already told you that you have nothing to worry about.
Best Wishes
