Yes, in perticular my mesenteric lymph nodes, they are close to the illium. When Im in a flare I get something called mesenteric adinitis, pretty much an infection of all those mesenteric nodes. And I commonly get pain in my glads and lymph nodes in my throat area and behind my ears. Sometimes an infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics, so I think its worth mentioning it to your doc.

I tend to get swollen and painful lumpy glands by my collar bone and behind my ear when I have a cold or and infection.
When I had shingles recently both came up a few days before the rash appeared so I knew that something wasn't right.
