Lymph Nodes
Posted: 10-30-03 17:28pm

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?
