Regarding Swollen Lymph Nodes

2020-05-15 09:53:46
Few years ago a node was formed under my right armpit. That is constant in size till now. Now one year ago another node came onto my back of left shoulder that grows in size. 3-4 months ago 4-5 nodes formed in back under diaphragm and sometimes they pain. What test should i undergo. Are these lipoma or something else. Suggest me test that can clear things.
