I'm wondering who out there has also experienced enlarged/Painful lymph nodes in the upper chest and along side of the neck? If I run my fingers from above the sturnum outwards to my shoulders that I can feel definite ridges which are painful to the touch. The lymph node on my neck (right side only) is also enlarged and painful. Anyone else having same isseus?

I thought i was the only one because my rheumy couldn't explain the enlarged lymph node under my right arm or why i was only having that type of chest pain only on my right side. However, since I have been taking the methotrexate injections i no longer have right side chest pain or enlarged lymph node under my right arm.

I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck - constantly. I also constantly have a very mild sore throat. Which is leading me to believe (along with other symptoms) that I also may have chronic fatigue syndrome.
