The newest wrinkle is that I woke up this morning sweating with a fever, so I'm fighting something somewhere.

I DID have a little cat scratch on the left arm earlier in the week, but it's pretty much healed up, now.

When my niece was 2 (20 years ago) she contracted Cat Scratch Fever and her lymph nodes (near her female area/panty line) were swollen and very painful. Please mention it to the doctor, even though you don't want to, as this could be the problem.

Good Luck to you!
Praying it's nothing serious.

I went and had the ultrasound, and the tech said right away it was an enlarged lymph node. This was Friday evening, so they said they would forward it to the doctor Monday.

On Tuesday, I missed a call from the doctor. When we finally connected, she said that although such things usually resolve themselves, since it was so large, she wanted me to see a surgeon and have it removed and biopsied.

I was reluctant, and I gave her two reasons:

1. It appeared very suddenly.

2. In my volunteer work at the shelter, I get scratched (just little snags, etc.) every week, and I had one on that arm that looked a little red. I wondered if bartonella was a possibility. When she heard that, she changed her mind and prescribed a Z-pack and a couple of weeks of observation.

It's still swollen, but no longer painful.
