lymph node anxiety

[nick9912]

Hello everyone, long time no see, I have not posted on here for months because I managed to get over my lymph node worry but I feel like I have fallen down that loophole once again: yesterday I noticed some pain if I pressed into my groin (which was the area I was worried about during my first anxiety-period) and I even got my family to press into my skin to see if they could find anything and although they cannot seem to find any node-like structure I feel like I can and it's making me go crazy once again (just to be specific I am currently moving and therefore under a lot of mental stress and physical work), anyone has any tips? last time I got this scare I got my blood tests, I got a ultrasound and I went to the doctor multiple times and everything turned out to be fine

I was always told if you have to go digging for a node its fine.
You only have a problem if they are big enough to be seen without searching for them! Also digging around will make them sore.
Been through similar a few years ago

Lymph nodes in many parts of your body can flare up and cause an issue from infections or illness that have nothing to do with cancer. Lymph nodes are rarely a sign of cancer and when they are are usually accompanied y other symptoms, such as fever, night sweats, and weight loss. On this post I've attached a file. Try printing this page out and literally making yourself sit down and write it out every day. Also keep in mind all the other times when you were worried for nothing.
