I have had a swollen lymph node for almost 7 years on the left side of my groin area with pain that shoots down my leg I have been on antibiotics for over a month and it hasn't gone away. I get sick to my stomach most of the time and it seems to have increased in size slowly over the years

Hello
Swollen lymph nodes from last 7 years may be due to .
1 Lymphadenitis , primary infection may be in nearby area . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a surgeon.
Excision biopsy will find out the exact nature of disease.
2 The next possibility may be due to tuberculosis either in the bone nearby or in lymph nodes . So get in blood examination for c b c and E S R .
3 Infection in the colon ( large intestine is one of the major cause ) . Get in ultrasound of abdomen .
In my opinion consult a surgeon and get his opinion.\
Good luck.
