hello so you might have read in my other quesiton that i have multiple hard bumps along my vertebrae which is probably related to bad posture, but for about 2 months i have had several swollen lymph nodes along my neck who are pain less and very small some bigger than others, it feels like sometimes they grow a lvery little bit but then other times i touch them and it feels like they shrunk, i also have a little bit of nerve pain in my joints and bones but its very mild and doesnt interfere with any of my daily physical activities. im a little bit worried that i might have the C word if you know what i mean... can someone please give me any advice or knowledge on this subject? ive researched it a lot and im scared i have lymphoma or something and i know that lymph node enlargement can be due to a numerous amount of diseases but cancer is what im worried about. i also want to mention that while i was researching this topic i came across "lupus" which is a disease that affects the organs such as kidneys,etc. and lupus also causes lymph node enlargement and body aches (like ive been having) and when i was younger I had kidney reflux for about 6 years (if you dont know what it is then look it up) so i was wondering that if i have lupus could it somehow relate to my previous history of kidney reflux? I KNOW THIS POST MIGHT BE LONG BUT I REALLY NEED AN OPINION AND IT WOULD MEAN A LOT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME! .......P.S. I KNOW ONLY GOING TO A DOCTOR CAN CONFIRM MY DIAGNOSIS BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ! THANK YOU
Update:sorry but i forgot to mention that i will occasionally get intense pain in my lower back right around my kidneys.....just wanted to say that!

any infection can cause L node enlargement

Heyy!! Do not worry at all. You just have a virus. I am getting via one right now. Every time you get a sore throat that you could get swollen glands. (lymph nodes) have not you ever had these before? Its only a signal of a cold/virus. I've virtually the same factor simplest it hurts after I swallow. Easiest my temp has long past is best one zero one. I've had it for 3 days and i'm feeling customarily better now. Ready to go out through the following day. Simply get plenty of rest drink fluids and you will have to be best. Dont worry about melanoma at all. Particularly unlikely. Though you should go to the health practitioner and have them check if it's the flu or strep throat. I went and i have neither, simply an endemic. So calm down and you are going to finally get higher. =)
