Brief Answer:
There are no lymph nodes on the back.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

No, there is no way you can have any lymph nodes there. If you have noticed some kind of lumps on your back, sebaceous cysts are the most probable reason.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
