Enlarged Lymph Node Before Miniscus Surgery Posted: 11-30-04 18:38pm
My son has a small oval enlarged lymph
node found it on the mri before his
surgery for a torn miniscus. Now the
doctors want to wait six to 8 weeks to
take another mri to see what this is.

Was the lymph node in the same location as
his surgery??If so,it could be swollen in
response to injury or trauma to the
area.Was his miniscus torn or injured-was
that the reason for surgery?If the doctors
felt it was okay to go ahead with the
surgery,he should be fine.If they felt it
was something that needeed immediate
attention,they would have said so.Wait til
the next mri and see what the doc
says.Good luck to both of you.Patty

Hi patty,
thanks for your reply. Yes the enlarged
lymph node is in the area of his injury.
The minisicus was torn and very inflamed.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
