I know that this might not fit into this forum, but I have been having some back pain for the past week...lower and middle...I finally decided to bit the bullet after hearing about the Boston Red Sox pitcher who went in for a back strain and they found enlarged lymph nodes in his back...couple of questions for you professionals out there>

How do they examine lymph nodes during an examination?

What can the doctor see on the spinal x-ray?

After being re-aligned for the first time in my life should I be sore?

Thanks, I am a recent quiiter of smoking cigarettes so I am sure the anxiety is not helping, but I am driving myself crazy on this and just looking for some help!!
