Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have history of muscle strain during strenuous work out. USG records shows enlarged node that cannot be from strain. If you are having pain complaint then non steroid anti inflammatory drug can be prescribed. If your enlarged lymph node persist then I suggest you to investigate with FNAC.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
