Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi In my opinion your GP is right about the lumps being Lymph nodes apparently . He is on right track about investigations also. Let him start treatment depending on the test results and if there are lymph nodes then they would respond to treatment with antibiotics else one piece may be removed for biopsy.
