Anemia does not normally cause swollen lymph nodes. lymph nodes are most commonly the sign of bacterial/viral infections.

Are enlarged abdominal lymph nodes the cause of abdominal pain?
Enlarged lymph nodes are a symptom of an underlying health problem. Lymph nodes usually only swell when there is extra activity going on with them or they are congested. When lymph nodes swell, they can become tender to the touch but it is unusual that they alone can be the cause of abdominal pain. It seems that there is an underlying problem. When an infection is present, lymph nodes swell due to lymphocytes (white blood cells) rushing into the nodes to help fight the infection. The answer to your question in my opinion would be no. The cause of your abdominal pain may be linked with enlarged abdominal lymph nodes but they are not the cause of problem. There may be an infection present, you may have had a poor diet and created a bacteria filled environment, your body may be fighting a more serious ailment. The best course of action would be to eat a VERY healthy diet, one which promotes good health and cleansing, take a visit to your doctor to check for any underlying health problems (note that swollen lymph nodes are not the problem, they are a symptom) and in general take very good care of your body.

Several knots in both armpits swollen throat?
The "knots" in your armpits are swollen lymph nodes and your throat may have swollen glands as well as swollen lymph nodes. This is very concerning since the lymph nodes swell indicating infection or major illness. Lymph nodes carry lymph fluid and white blood cells throughout our bodies. Certain infections, and certain cancers travel swiftly through the lymph system, thereby causing them to swell.
