    Pea sized lymph nodes are normal..  It's nothing to worry about.   It's very common to be able to feel our lymph nodes..  I can feel mine all over my body.  I can feel my groin lymph nodes, in my arm pits, sides of my rib cage, all over my neck, my upper back, behind my ears and even behind my head.  A lot of mine are larger then pea sized too.   Your doctor would know within one look and feel if it was something that needed to be investigated further.  But.. if you are really stressed about it, then you could always ask your doctor to send you for an ultrasound, just for peace of mind..  Best wishes..
