This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff
I hate to break it to you…
Today, I went to the doctor to get my swollen lymph nodes checked. As it turns out, they aren't swollen. I'm just fat. FML

I'd get a second opinion. I haven't heard of someone confusing excess weight for swollen lymph nodes. Given that swollen lymph nodes are usually a symptom, it could mean something more serious is causing that.

Swollen lymph nodes have a VERY different feeling than fat would. It's pressure pushing outward, not inward as would be the case with gravity pushing on fat. And "a second opinion" is a medical term for seeing another doctor to make sure that the first one didn't make a mistake, because doctors aren't infallible.

I had the same thing happen. Was sent to a radiologist for testing. Nothing. I just have a fat neck like I always have.

second opinion? the doctor was the second opinion and said op was fat. op doesn't know they're fat and thought they were swollen.

If that doesn't motivate you to exercise and lower your body fat, I don't know what will.
