Hey Mrs. C! Your fellow hypochondriac here...I used to have a lump that I would fee CONSTATNLY. I would get everyone I knew to feel it too. I have gone to the doc to have them felt over the years (am only 28) as does my sister, and they are very common. I am sure you know all this and it doesn't make you feel better, but ANY infection in your body can make a lymph node swell. It could be a bladder infection or a sinus infection - it doesn't matter. It could be something that isn't even bothering you. And then the nodes take a LONG time to go down. Literally months sometimes.
I agree with Jen though that you should go to Urgent Care. I know what you mean about feeling like an idiot and not wanting to be discounted. Let us know what you do and how you are. I am thinking of you as I have been having my own hypocondria fits as well.
