Swollen lymph node

[stephanbakir]

So I walked out of the shower an hour ago, went to dry off my shoulders and found that the lymph node at the base of my neck is swollen to the size of a big cherry tomato...
Called my boss and he won't let me take the day off tomorrow so I'll be heading to the docs tomorrow night after work...
Did a bit of research and it doesn't really mean anything good... Sigh.

I've got no local cuts or invections, my arms however have at least 100 active cuts on each of them from wrist to elbow (my work is pretty brutal) so that could be it but to be honest I don't understand it well enough, and I try to avoid self diagnosis... I'll find out what the doc says tomorrow.
