What else causes a swollen lymph gland in the groin?


Posted by Christina

A small lump rose on the top of my right leg, at the groin, about 10 days ago.  A trip to the doctor diagnosed "swollen lymph gland".  Urine tests, CBC and even a test for chlamydia were performed.  All of the test results returned negative for any illness or infection of any sort.  I do not feel sick in any way at all.

The lump has grown to the side of a marble and is painful only to the touch.  I can exercise (kick box and spinning) without any pain, but it seemed to have caused it to swell even more, so I am taking a few days off to see if it improves.

 I read all of the very good posts on the subject, but didn't find any that mentioned what it might be, other than infection. 

Seems that a torn muscle or tendon or ligament would be painful with exercise.  And it's not coming to head or draining like the blocked sweat gland someone experienced.

 Thank you.

Christine,

If the lump is hard, it may just be normal changes that can happen, especially for anyone who is very physically active. It seems it shouldn't be painful though, nor getting larger.

I think this link will help greatly. You may want to explore it further with your doctor.
