Hep C affects the liver and some people say some other organs which I do not know about, but I have never heard the lymph nodes, The lymph nodes do filter certain toxins, proteins and clean the fluid before it reunites with(this is a brief explanation from my memory ), Cigarette smoking is way more brutal for the lymph system, possible the dead virus gets processed through the lymph, inflammation gets processed, Smoking is bad for the lymph system

A recurrent infection can cause progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, or appearance of new palpable lymph nodes. Lymphoma is also another disease condition that can present with enlarged lymph nodes. Patients with lymphoma usually have accompanying symptoms like fever and weight loss. You may want to go back to your doctor, or consult another doctor for further evaluation. Take care.

Lymphomic cancer is cancer in the lymph system, lymphoma. There are lymph nodes in every part of the body even in the lungs. Has she had any swelling? How often is the fluid getting in her lungs? Some people actually develop lymphedema and the fluid settles in the lungs as well.

Both were (and are) around with the persistent inability to sleep. Nodes are firm/rubbery, not sure what is meant by fixed, these are the first lymph nodes I've had that were swollen and I've felt. But I am pretty sure they are fixed. May: Swollen lymph nodes still there, fatigue still there, now there is bloating and I feel full all the time (even if my stomach says it's hungry, it physically feels filled).

But 1st of June still not feeling better and felt like cyst was getting bigger so I went back to the Doc . He did another ct to check lymph nodes in neck said everything looked okay. So he did blood work and said I have mono. Great-- I am 46 years old and falling apart. Mono who would have thought it. I am sorry this is long but alot tied together. This week lymph nodes decided to swell up and hurt. Didn't know I was this bad until they started running test.

I have had a recurrent sore throat for the past couple weeks though this may be to acid reflux and smoking. For the past couple days I have had slightly painful palpable lymph nodes in my armpits and arms, and directly above my groin on both sides. I do have a healing abscess on my upper left leg. I did not experience any ARS symptoms that I can recall, but I read that swollen lymph nodes in multiple places are a good indicator of hiv infection. I'm going crazy with worry. Please help.

You cant tell if theres any on the back side of the body at all from diagrams or through anyother search pertaining to lymph nodes. Second No google searches with buttox or upper thigh + Lymph nodes has any results, while under armpit + lymph node does have results. So thats why i was wondering if there is one there or not, i cannot find a sufficiant answer from goole. So again i ask my question : Is there a lymph node on the back of your leg, near the top way above the knee?

m a 17 year old male Last year, i was sick for a long time and eventually i was diagnosed with mono, but i was at the tail end of it by that time. Since then, the lymph nodes in my neck are still swollen, the right one is roughly the size of a lima bean or grape. Also, my tonsils in the back of my throat are really swollen and sometimes a little tender, but i'm not sure if those are connected to the lymph nodes.

Pain in lymph nodes (neck, ear, jaw, armpit, chest). My head feels like I have very bad case of flu. Black under my eyes. I was diagnosed with "viral infection". I was given many antibiotics and last time I was given broad spectrum antibiotics. Crixan 500mg, Levofloxacin 500mg. Since then pain in lymph nodes little bit decreased. My head feels still the same, almost like drunk. Problem is, that I moved to Thailand and health care works here on demand. I HAD TO ask for blood tests.

I'm a 43 yr old woman who smokes & have had swollen submental lymph nodes for about a month now. I have had the little swollen 1's by the ear before but these doesn't feel so little. They are large enough that if you put your fingers in the front of my neck it seems like you could almost pull them out. I have started having quite a bit of nausea & night sweats & had a fever the other day (which I never have). My stomach (right below my ribs in the middle) feels like crap.

Nobody can find lumps like someone with anxiety! And once we find those lumps, boy or boy, do we ever give them a work-out. You said you had anxiety about a disease, but then failed to let us know exactly which disease. I'm going to guess it may have something to do with your neck/throat area? Have you ever been to the doctor and they start feeling all around your neck? Know why? Cuz there's lots to feel in there.

if its easy to move around its probably swollen lymph nodes if you get sick or have a sore in your mouth anything like that you can get them i have had swollen lymph nodes many times.. nothing happens it will go away on its own if its painful you can give her tylonol..

Hi, Yes it is possible for one lymph node to be enlarged if there is cancer but slowly it would spread to other lymph nodes as well. The other symptoms of lung cancer include chest pain, cough, breathlessness, blood in sputum (hemoptysis) and weight loss. The lymph nodes due to infection will remain swollen till the infection gets resolved. The exact time will depend on the type of infection. I would suggest you take relax and take OTC pain killers for headache and back ache.

i have had rock hard underarm lymph nodes for a few months now as well as slight headaches and mild nausea. i was a heavy smoker and i seem to have oral thrush aswell, which may be due to the smoking.

Hi weenie120, If they can biopsy something else like skin lesions, lymph nodes, it is another alternative. Not knowing what the CT showed or what your symptoms are I can't be of much help beyond that. In diagnosing Sarcoidosis they test the serum ACE level, but this is still just an indicator that they put together with the whole clinical package not a slam dunk in itself.

A year ago, I was diagnosed with stage 2A invasive ductal carcinoma. I had a right side mastectomy followed by hormone therapy. My lymph nodes were clean. I've been having shortness of breath and associate it with the weight gain (thanks to hormones), and anxiety. My doctor wanted me checked for blood clots because I do have a history of DVT's. I knew I didn't have one and was pleased that she was reassured. However, a CT came back showing a 5 mm nodule in my lung.

You should see your surgeon who can examine to see if your lymph nodes or glands are swollen. It is not uncommon to have swollen lymph nodes under your jaw following surgery, however, only you surgeon can determine if it is normal or the beginning of an infection.

it appears you also think your lymph nodes can twitch, and in one of your posts it seems as though you believe you have lymph nodes swollen on the inside of your throat. you can feel your lymph nodes twitch just as well as you'd be able to feel your fingernails or you blood pressure twitch. you said your face is doing the same. thats also completely unrelated to HIV, which you dont have. maybe the marijuana you said that you smoke is contributing to your anxiety.

Amorphous density in the anterior superior mediastinum could represent residual thymus and/or lymph nodes. Several nonpathologically enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes are seen in the aorticopulmonary window and right paratracheal region. While evaluation of the mediastinum and hilum is limited without contrast, no other large abnormality in seen. The lungs and pleura are clear. Slightly prominent lymph nodes are seen in both axillae. There is soft tissue asymmetry in the portion of the larynx.

Sorry for being persistent but I have one more question. Could smoking (cigarettes) cause lymph nodes to flare up?

He then went through the CXR with me showing me the upper right area that he considered to be enlarged lymph nodes. He then sent me for extensive Lung Function Tests that were Spirometry and ones in an airtight cubicle - much like a shower cubicle - that were done pre and post use of a BronchoDilator Reliever and lasted about 1 hour.
