Brief Answer:
No chance of glands there
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Fibromyalgia does produce the symptoms you mentioned.
In addition, if your physician has checked out these areas there is less likelihood of any glands.
Glands in lymphoma are well palpable so I don’t think there are any chances of missing them out.

Brief Answer:
Not nodes
Detailed Answer:
Swollen glands are usually present in the area of neck, armpits, in the groin.
They are usually not present at the elbows and knees; I am talking about the clinically significant ones.
Usually a clinician is able to make them out quite easily.
The only other way to confirm it is by ultrasound or other imaging modalities.
