What Does Tenderness In The Lymph Nodes Indicate?

I have tenderness in many lymph nodes as well as in my breasts I have noticed that it feels like pressure is constantly being applied. This has been going on for a while. I also have bad circulation in my legs or edema. I was wondering if I could have something going on. Thank you!

Hello,
Welcome on HealthCare Magic!
I understand your concern. Normaly we can't touch our lymph node. The fact that you feel them and feel tenderness on them means that you need to see a doctor. But reading carefuly your story, and when you say you have edema in your legs, I think that you have problems in lymphatic circulation. The causes of this can be so many, like: infection( but you would have fever and pain in lymph nodes areas, which are missed in you) or blocage from some disease which i think seems to be in your case. That's why I suggest you to see a doctor.

I wish my answer was helpful!

Regards, Dr Eniola
