checking lympth nodes

[amensinger]

I am having issues with checking my lympth nodes obsessively and need
some help. I know they are small but I just keep checking this one in
my neck cause it is bigger than the one on the other side, I wish I
could stop this very stupid behavior, do any of you guys do this or
have had this obsession before. I think that it is normal to be able
to feel your nodes right, even if the other is hardly noticable??? I
have felt them be alot bigger than what they are now. I need some
sreious help here, I feel like such a nut case sometimes.

I`m going through the same thing. I have little swollen lymph node in my neck, left side. I cannot stop this worrying.

I keep doing this too, I can't stand it. Last night, I found a fleshy lump in my right cheek, checked the left one and it was there in the exact same spot, looks to be a salivary gland, but no, I had to pinch them and poke at them for hours and now this morning they hurt sooooo bad and now I'm even more convinced there is something wrong. This is driving me insane. I was taking Effexor for 3 years, it did help with the hypochondria but it caused too many other problems. I stopped a few months ago and now this is back worse than before.
