Had Cervical Cancer. Is It Possible For Painful Nodes To Be A Recurrence?

I had cervical cancer stage 1b1, adenosquamous carcinoma in 2010. I now have back pain for one year and swollen painful lymph nodes in groin for 2 days. I have heard that painful nodes are usually not related to cancer. Is it possible for painful nodes to be a recurrence?

ya it is possible to have recurrence of cancer. but biopsy is required to confirm the cancer, as in almost 50% of cases infections are also cause of enlargement of enalarged groin lymphnodes
