I'm really concerned because I've had swollen lymph nodes in areas like my thigh, elbow, and back since 2008. It's been so long and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

Hello, its important to have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the persistent lymph nodes since 2008. Chronic lymphadenopathy can sometimes be benign, but it may also indicate an underlying condition that requires further investigation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some tests to understand the situation better.

I recently had a blood test and they poked me with a needle, but the doctor couldn't find the vein right away and kind of moved it around under my skin. That was a few days ago, and now there's this light green patch where they poked me. I'm a bit worried because I thought bruises were usually blue or black. Is this light green color something I should be concerned about?
