No, do not fret! You're supposed to be able to feel your lymph nodes...(even in your groin). They may seem swollen (sometimes I think mine are too), but they're probably not, especially if they're not causing you pain or illness.

It's good that you consulted your doctor though, that is always the smart thing to do. You do not sound like a hypochondriac, you sound like someone who is concerned about they're health in a normal way. If you're still worried though, it never hurts to get a second opinion.

If you want to know more about lymph nodes, here's some info: http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art....

Good luck! (:

You are supposed to be able to feel lymph nodes. Your neck is full of them, you have them under your arm pits, in your groin, and several other places throughout the body. They are there to fight infection. If you have an infection they will really swell up. You should not be worried, it's normal for them to be there and to be able to feel them, You should only worry when they swell and begin to hurt and they will when you have an infection, You are not a hypochondriac you are just worried because you don't know anything about lymph nodes. You should search it as to when you should worry and where they all are in your body. You are fine, don't worry.
