I an enlarged, palatable lymph on one side
of my neck. It is about the size of a
small marble or large pea. Different
doctors have said it is nothing to worry
about. Can a doctor tell if something is
wrong with an lymph node just by feeling
it?
I have rheumatoid arthritis and have had
the routine blood test that are taken for
that, such as cbc and liver function,
would these test show something
abnormal?
The doctors say it is probably an
infection, but this has been going on
close to a year or more.
I also have chronic sinus problems that
and chronic ear problems. Could that or
the rheumatoid arthritis be the culprit.
Should I press my doctor for more test and
if so what test should I get done.
Thank you very much.

Do you have swollen lymph nodes at other
parts of your body?
Is this node painful or painless on
touch?
What are the symptoms of chronic ear
infection you are usually experiencing?
