I'm assuming my lymph node feels hard because it's right near a bone

Yes, I did have an ultrasound. I was told that it was about 1.1cm which is within the normal range. They're only concerned about lymph nodes that exceed 1.5cm in diameter. The ultrasound was normal. It still bothers me knowing that it's there. I did the ultimate no no and googled it and the worse popped up
