What Causes Recurrent Swollen Lymph Nodes In Groin Causing Severe Pain?

I have had swollen lymph nodes in my groin off and on for several years. I have one now that is extremely painful and bigger than anything previous. The swollen area is about 4 to 5 inches long and 2 inches wide and firm. I ve had it for about 5 days now. It s gotten really read around the center of it. My health insurance doesn t kick in until the 1st. Am I okay to wait until then to seek treatment?
