These places are very common areas where lymph nodes can swell to the point of being able to feel a lump, but not always. The occasional ache I feel is also in these areas but I don't ever feel a lump either. My guess is it's the capsule around the lymph node that is stretching as it fights a bug. Pay attention to how you feel next time you feel the ache and see if you also feel run down.
I hope you are able to get some answers soon.

Yes, you should be seen by a doctor. I'm assuming it's in the front of your neck, and my first thought was lymph nodes. I understand you're scared, but guessing about it won't fix whatever the problem is and if it IS something serious early treatment often can completely cure the problem. The longer you wait the more it can fester and get worse.
Hi, it could be enlarged lymph node/nodes. Lymph are protective mechanisms of the body and they 'trap' the infecting source causing enlargement of lymph nodes. The infection can be from the draining skin or the organs. The other causes for enlarged nodes are tumors or inflammations to name a few. The swelling and pain could also be due to mastoiditis, which is infection of the bone behind the ear.
Since he was the age of 11 months I have noticed a lump on the left side of his neck. It appears to be a swollen lymph node and is mobile. I have brought it to the attention of our family doctor, a walk-in clinic doctor and his pediatrician and they all have only ran a CBC (blood test) and shrugged it off. His results of the test came back within normal range all three times. The mass has not changed in size, but is still there. His doctors don't seem concerned, but as a mom I am.
Just a week ago, I felt another small lump (not sure whether is it a lymph node?) near my groin area, it is not really in the groin area that is described in the internet regarding swollen lymph nodes, but it is just attached to the skin just next to the scrotum so far i know, it is not on the legs. It has shrink down after several days till now.
Hello,
For the past few years (three or so) I have had small lumps in my earlobes. Although they have never fully disappeared, the size of them changes quite often. One week they might be inflamed and painful to the touch and the next they could be very small and unnoticeable. About half a year ago I noticed that I had a few small, soft lumps on my neck. At that time I decided it would be best to have my physician have a look.
It is soft and I had it looked at by our n/s but he didnt think it was a big deal, they said lymph nodes but now its getting bigger and she is also getting what appears to be hives in her ears. Does anyone know anything about this? So confused and frustrated. Oh and her headaches are worse than before the surgery but our n/s said he is optimistic they will go away. Ok.... when?
Hello - I am wondering how long I should watch a lymph node that is swollen before seeing a doctor. To date its been about a month that I have had a lymph node swollen in my neck. I also have a nose that will not heal. It is always mucousy and sore, its has been this way for over a year. Also when I swallow I feel like I have a lump in there and recently have had a harder time breathing. Like making my bed leaves me a bit winded or even talking.
I have had a painless lump in my neck for several years. It is on the left side in the same area where my lymph nodes typically swell up when I have a cold. It is behind the upper part of my jaw, below my ear. It is hard, painless (unless I press it rather hard), immovable and about an inch in size. I have had two doctors who have been aware of it, but dismissed it. The first one put me on antibiotics to make it go down, but they did not do anything.
The following day I discovered more swollen (but not painful) lymph nodes in my neck/jaw region. The lymph node was painful for 2 days. On January 5th I discovered swollen lymph nodes in my armpits. One lymph node, on the left side, was painful. The pain went away in 2 days as well, but they're still swollen like the ones in my neck/jaw.
Right now I have a small, painful lump in my leg, close to the back of the knee.
Fast forward a year and I am still not the same person.The lump in my ear/neck area is constantly tender and painful. The majority of the time I have an earache. This has been causing me discomfort and pain now for a year! I feel dismissed by the doctor I saw and cannot afford to keep going back without results. I need a direction or suggestions as to what to do next. I am losing sleep over this and feel an urgency to press on. I am a female, age 42, 5;3", 135 lbs.Thank you.
They both revealed that I have several abnormal lymph nodes in the neck and supra-clavicle but that the nodes although abnormal because they are a little bigger (.5 of an inch) and the amount of them, they suggested to continue to monitor the situation. I am feeling a little silly to go back about the lump on my sacrum since they were not too concern about the MRI and CT-Scan but nevertheless it is still bothering be. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you all for your help!
Hi there. No need to panic and think anything like cancer. :))) We have a lymph system and lymph nodes in that area. When someone has recently been sick or fighting being sick where the immune system is involved, lymph nodes become activated and can grow in size temporarily. When this happens to me, it's usually one in one arm pit or one in my neck and it lasts for a couple of months after illness. It's common.
Hello,
From the description of the swelling ,it looks like a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes are small (1-2cm) and bean-shaped nodes. they are very important to your body keeping you healthy. Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes include allergic reactions, arthritis, cancer, metabolic diseases, and an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
I was born with a small lump toward the lower end of my neck in the front. it doesnt cause me any pain but i am constantly asked if it is related to thyroid or fibromitosis. Both of these terms scare me, i guess my question is that over the last two years its almost tripled in size. I am starting to worry. I have no insurance and am low income. Does anyone have an idea what this could be? concerned and confused.....
Has he been checked for mono? Usually lymph nodes swell in a localized area..With crohn's unless he has problems in his throat from it, I wouldn't think it very likely. I know this because my doctor told me that my digestive problems probably aren't related to my own swollen, neck lymph nodes that I have had for over 6 months. Lymph nodes would swell closer to the inflamed area, which would be in the abdomen usually. Some times lymph nodes swell for no apparent reason..
