Kernal

When you hurt your lower trunk a knot occurs in your groin area. When you hurt your upper trunk it occurs under the arm. My mother called these kernals. What is the reason for this?

Answer #1

These “knots” are lymph nodes. They can become inflamed for many reasons. If you scratch your scalp while combing your hair a node in your neck might enlarge.
