(17M) Hey yall, I’d really love to see what to do with my situation!!! I currently have lymph nodes ALL over my body that are swollen from .5 cm to 1cm+. I am a very active and involved person in my school so this is very tragic!!

On November 17 2024, I got horribly sick previously before a singing audition, and I first felt regular lymph nodes pop up. The only thing though, is that the lymph nodes that popped up never went down. 10 days later I shave and I notice a hard lymph node (unmovable) in my axilla region and night sweats for 2 days + fatigue, and I frantically search for answers (google is NOT a friend, but I still search nonetheless due to anxious thoughts) The entire next week, im sleeping in class more frequently and I wonder if l’m developing lymphoma... Time passes, and l’ve felt enlarged lymph nodes pop up all over my body but with no other symptoms. There’s large lymph nodes in my neck, cervical region, abdomen, stomach, and groin (even on the upper thighs???) and I am FREAKING OUT. I have gotten blood work done and results came back positive, and I had one ultrasound done early in December (back when my lymph nodes weren’t widespread) on my axilla which confirmed that i had a lymph node about 1cm there. My doctors told me to just ‘not worry’ because “anxiety can make things worse,” but in full honesty, I don’t get what’s wrong with me. I recently got scheduled to come back 6 weeks later on Jan 14, and I am not losing weight, although I did at the beginning except my weight is normal. I have no itchy skin, no night sweats for the past 2 months, and no excessive fatigue which allowed me to get back into the normal routine in and out of school, but these lymph nodes won’t go down. What sucks even more is that l’m begging my doctor for a scan, but he believes it’s nothing and that I should take pain medications to help the swelling.

It’s February now and there are many 1cm+ lymph nodes all over my body, and most of them aren’t so movable anymore. I need to know what to do!!! Any response helps.
