copaxone and swollen lymph nodes Help!?!!?

[beccalouise76]

Hey out there!
I have been on copaxone 40 for almost three months. I have noticed I have swollen lymph nodes in my groin area. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience and if it is connect with the copaxone. Thanks for any input.

Swollen lymph nodes in groin area

I had swollen lymph nodes in groin area that never receded when I first went on Copaxone 20mg. I actually had them surgically removed, as Drs 10 years ago were afraid that I had Hodgkins Lymphoma. I, of course, did not. Subsequently, my new neurologist has theorized that the Copaxone "turned on" something in my immune system that the lymph system was trying to deal with (that's why they inflamed) and they just never were able to recover back to normal size. Please share this story when you ask your MS specialist. I don't think you need to have them surgically removed, like I did, unless, they are super huge and gross. Please let me know what your Dr. says! Hopefully, they have more Copaxone experience now than they did 10 years ago!
