I've been having sharp shooting pains in what I'm pretty sure are lymph nodes but they don't feel swollen. I do have some swollen ones under my armpits and where my neck and end of my jaw meet but those don't feel as bad. The ones in my groin and right at the collar bone especially causing shooting pains sometimes it's so painful I wanna buckle over and other times it feel like a dull ache for a bit.

Also wondering if anyone has gotten swollen/painful lymph nodes around the stomach/ribs?? I am feeling some pain and it feels like there might be some swelling. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help this?

I'm going to the doctor again but I already know these things are a process so I'm gonna have to wait for test to get some relief.

So Sorry you are dealing with this.
Swollen glands for me were a big feature when I first got sick. I already had Epstein Barr and lyme went to those areas - under my neck and my armpits. I didnt get any pains around the ribs and stomach. Not til later - that turned out to be parasite issues in the bile duct....another story.
Your instincts are right - there is a process. There will be tests...you will have to wait. Everyones' story is different. Getting the right tests will help you find the right solution for you a whole lot sooner. So the waiting you have to do right now is still the shortest route. All the best.

Thank you ArtAngel I had swollen nodes in the neck when I first got sick but doctors just said we don't know what it is and when they went away after a few months the test subsided. Now they're everywhere so I'm wondering if it's that same pattern as you but I guess everyone is different when it comes to Lyme. Did you get sharp pains in the lymph nodes or was it just the dull ache that comes with swollen ones? I have both going on now.

They were quite sore to touch,initially. Apart from tiredness is was a primary issue. It has mostly gone now. It is supposed to be something to do with lymphatic drainage. I took Nettle tea and tried different things to get the lymphatics working. It shifted gradually over time with nothing really changing it in any significant way but getting my health better over all. I think of it as a secondary issue. The primary problem is getting the infections down. Doing that made everything better. I am not clear of lyme but everything has improved. I have some slight congestion in the lymph under the neck but it goes away if I exercise my neck.
