Hi,
Since reading about the lymph nodes above the elbow being a sign of disease (and diseases I fear) I started palpating the area and did not notice anything, but over time the odd twinge made me palpate again. The problem is that diagrams vary on where they are exactly and I now have notices a small hardish, movable rod-shaped bump in the muscle about 3 or so cm above the inside bump of the elbow. Some things I have read have said that they are palpable in the crease between the biceps and triceps, so I assume that this means that they are in the big dent to the side of the biceps and if this is so then I don't have any bumps there, but other diagrams and descriptions say about 3sm above the elbow joint inside bump. I think I have other similar bumps on the surface of muscles so wonder whether it is perhaps just muscles and not a node. The scary thing is you are not supposed to be able to feel them at all so if this is my node then I am really scared.
Thanks
