What Causes Tightness/fullness With Palpable Bumps In Left Side Of Neck

For about 4 months now I have had palpable bumps in the left side of my neck, presumably lymph nodes. I had a sonogram done about 6 weeks ago, and the results indicated that the nodes are not abnormally large -- approximately .3 cm - .5 cm each. However, I can feel them if I press in the right location. Further, I have a feeling of tightness/fullness/constriction on the left side of my neck that has persisted now for nearly 3 months. I have seen a number of ENTs and they do not seem to be particularly concerned at this point. When I mentioned the strange neck feeling, the ENT seemed to think there was little or no connection to lymph nodes. If you have any suggestions, I d be interested to hear what they are.
