the lymph nodes help with healing. if your right leg has an infection then the lymph nodes will be swollen. they get swollen because the white blood cells carry bacteria to the lymph nodes to fight and kill the bacteria that are causing the infection. whenever there is an infection usually the white blood cells go to that area to help fight off the bacteria. so its going to be swollen and tender if there are more white blood cells in one spot than there usually is. all it is, is an infection of some kind being fought off. see a dr.
