I have a swollen lymph node in my armpit and I'm sore. Im so scared..?
You probably have a virus and so your lymph system is reacting to it. Not saying that you don't have something more serious. But I doubt it. Very strange that you would suggest that you have Hodgkins Lymphoma. More like you know someone that has had it in the past and now you are thinking you have it.
Why are swollen lymph nodes associated symptoms of HIV?
Not at all. The causes of swollen lymph nodes are so many that I’m not even going to bother trying to list them.Probably the most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is as a reaction to some sort of infection. This is common with upper respiratory infections, where we see swollen lymph nodes under the jaw, in the neck and in the back of the head.Another common cause for swollen lymph nodes is nothing at all. Sometimes patients come in with a swollen lymph node and we can’t identify a cause. We just observe them and usually they go away on their own. Also, many people think a lymph node is swollen just because they can feel it. In skinny people, lymph nodes are commonly felt in the groin and they’re perfectly normal.Different infections can cause swollen lymph nodes. These include common infections like viruses and bacteria. It also includes rare infections like tuberculosis and bubonic plague. Cancer can also metastasize via lymph nodes and cause them to swell. The lymph nodes themselves can also be cancerous, as in lymphoma.And, yes, HIV is one of the infections that could cause swollen lymph nodes.
Should I Be Worried About My Swollen Lymph Nodes?
There's nothing wrong with being able to feel your lymph nodes all the time. They don't go away, they only change size in response to infection or foreign things within the body. Once a lymph node has been activated, it usually doesn't go down completely like it used to be, and that's the reason why you still feel it, smaller, but still there. There are millions of reasons for lymph nodes to swell, but the most common are bacterial and viral infections and allergies. If you eat too much garbage with artificial chemical ingredients, that also may cause them to swell due to the inflammation these things cause around the body. I've had many breast cysts over the years and they have never caused lymph node swelling. And remember, the nodes closest to the infection or problem area will swell, so a breast cyst is not going to cause a neck or ear node to swell, it would swell the nodes in your armpits, which is what a lot of breast cancer patients experience. IF exposure to CT scan radiation causes cancer, it would take decades for it to develop. Those type of cancers are VERY slow growing, and one single CT scan wouldn't do much of anything to you, I've had 3 and I'm not gonna sit back and worry myself sick over something I can't control 'cause it's already been done. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you, only worry that's stressing you out. Do yourself a favor and grab your favorite ice cream, sit in from of he TV and enjoy yourself so you can relax, you are fine.

Has anyone experienced lymph node swelling while taking Yaz?
I started taking Yaz in Dec. 2006. Since that time, I've experienced a multitude of strange symptoms: anxiety, palpitations, extreme fatigue, lumps in breasts, painful breasts, cystic acne, heartburn, swollen lymph nodes. I connected these symptoms with Yaz, because I never had any problems of this kind before I started taking it. I seem to have something new every day, and it is driving me crazy.
