Hrmmm, I was hoping it might be training induced. Ive heard that your lymph nodes swell whenever your body is fighting off infection. Seeing as how intense weight training takes a tole on your immune system im going to supplement extra glutamine into my diet. Hopefully that helps my immune system and they UNswell.

yes, swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign of infection, but surely it would be a good idea to go to the doctor and find out what that infection is and get it sorted? its probably nothing serious, but why leave anything to chance when your health is concerned?ximor said:Hrmmm, I was hoping it might be training induced.

sorry mate, sometimes i forget im talking to someone in the states and to go get something checked out isnt free. that sucks. i know $80 could buy you plenty of better things than a doctors visit, but you should do.ximor said:
Please see your physician immediately. Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) can be a serious condition. You need to have bloodwork checked (a CBC) to make sure you do not have leukemia or lymphoma, and if a short course of antibiotics do not help, then you will need a biopsy.
Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing, but it's your life and I think you should take it seriously. You don't want this to turn out to be cancerous and you ignored it when it could have been cured at an early stage.
A lot of these turn out to be nothing, but you really do need to see a physician. Nobody can examine or diagnose you over the internet. What you think are lymph nodes may turn out to be other things (sebaceous cysts, etc.), but without a physician examining you, there is no way to tell. Therefore, it is imperative that you see a physician.

Yes, leukemia and lymphoma can cause waxing and waning of symptoms and lymphadenopathy.ximor said:
