Dear sir
I understand your concern, the swelling in the back might not be a lymph node, please let me know is it painful to touch and warm, if answer is no for both, then it could be spasmotic neck muscle which is causing pain and also your other symptoms. As of pain in lower back and stiff right foot might be due to spinal cord problem for which you requires and x-ray along with a x-ray and Ultrasonography of neck region including the swelling. Try taking pain killers and hot fermentation of area and monitor the pain
