lymph nodes?

[Galadriel]

Do we have lymph nodes around our stomach area? I wonder this because sometimes when I feel like Im fighting off a bug (usually fighting a sore throat/cough, things like that) I get this sore feeling around my stomach, and I know its not my intestines or stomach, it just doesn't feel like it is, and its in 2 spots exactly opposite each other on either side of my stomach. I'll also notice other areas where I know there are lymph glands will be sore too, thats why I think there are some around the stomach area. Is this so or am I just nuts lol?

I have never heard of that..but i suppose they could be there...i know they are under our armpits, and either side of the neck and near our breasts...I dunno...

I have absolutely no idea.


Did you google it?

I think I did try to google it one time and didn't get it figured out. I found some diagram but it was really confusing lol. I am not sure that there are glands near the stomach but I was mainly wondering. I wonder if Alvin would know?

The closest I know is that there are glands in your groin area, like near your hips, but not around the stomach.....</font>

Yes, you do have lymph nodes there. Here's a link that illustrates the lymphatic system.
