Knee pain and lymph node issue
I am unable to run due to pain in my left knee. I went to see a sports medicine doctor and had an MRI done, and they found an enlarged lymph node in my knee. At first there was concern it could be cancer, but they say it's not cancer. MRI also showed evidence of muscle strain, possibly from an old injury. The doctor basically told me he doesn't know what I should do about my knee pain except try to run through it. I'm left unsure what to do next, and concerned about the lymph node.
