    This nerve pain in my groin after the lymph node biopsy started yesterday and hasn't stopped. The lump has gotten bigger.  I finally spoke with the surgeon's office and they will see me tomorrow to possibly drain out the fluid. I didn't know removing only 2 lymph nodes would cause this much fluid. Has anyone had this done?

      Look up "seroma".  It's not uncommon.  Draining it is pretty straightforward.
