Neck making popping/cracking noises + Lymph nodes

[evandeck]

Hi. For the past few weeks, I have been getting better with my HA but I found 3 lymph nodes in my neck. One on the left and two on the right. The one on the left is bigger. They are pea sized but they are hard (it moves with the skin) to move but they don't feel hard as a rock. I also hear my neck crack/pop whenever I move my head from side to side. I read that non moveable lymph nodes are serious but pea sized "non rock hard" lymph nodes are fine. I'm not sure what it means if I have both.

EDIT: I don't feel sick. I am not drenching in sweat at night. I don't have a fever or headache. My weight is fine. I can also swallow normally.

How are your ears?  This time of year, I'm always getting plugged ears from allergies and they typically come with swollen lymph nodes and occasionally a cracking sound (with pressure) in my neck.

My ears are fine.

The last time I asked my doc about lymph nodes, he said that they flare up all the time... sometimes for things you don't notice like minor ear or gum infections. You should obviously monitor them... if they don't go away within a couple of weeks or they continue to grow, go in and get them checked out. 

And for heaven's sake, don't Google them. About seven years ago, I completely freaked myself out when a small, hard lymph node flared up above my collar bone. Everything online says those go hand-in-hand with cancer, but the thing went away in a couple of weeks.
