Crazy Question, But No Response Doctor's Office From Last Week. Do We Have Lymph Nodes In Our Feet And If So Where Are They Located?
This is what I found on the internet.
I do not know if this is factual or not, so please read it with caution. Also, ask your doctor again when you see him/her.
Lymph nodes in the foot are divided into superficial and deep nodes:
Superficial nodes
Also known as epifascial nodes, these drain the skin and subcutaneous tissues. A large bundle of these nodes forms a ventromedial bundle over the dorsum of the foot, which drains to the superficial inguinal nodes.
Deep nodes
Also known as subfascial nodes, these drain the joints, muscles, and bones. These nodes drain into the deep inguinal nodes.
The foot also has two main lymphatic paths from the lower leg:
Fibular route: This path leads to the popliteal node.
Tibial route: This path leads to the nodes in the groin. Lymph nodes in the foot are divided into superficial and deep nodes:

Thank you, I am doing well and I hope you are okay too!😇
Lymph nodes are not typically found in the feet. They are more commonly located in areas such as the neck, armpits, and groin. These nodes play a crucial role in filtering harmful substances out of lymph fluid and are part of the immune system.
