Causes for wide spread swollen and painful Lymphnodes?

I have had axillary, breast, abdomen and lung swollen lymph nodes for years. Started in lungs a few years ago and has slowly spread and multiply. Was monitored. The ones in my lungs were half calcified and half not. There were many in lungs. Was diagnosed on Radiology report with chronic granulomas disease. Nothing was ever done. This past year I have not been able to get the painful one under my left under arm to go away or to stop hurting. Told the Dr. many times, no help. Had a breast US and found 4 in breast. I have hard, fixed painful lymph nodes in my abdomen, now they have started to cluster or group and are extremely painful and can't seem to get anyone to take me seriously. I am exhausted and need to see if anyone has any idea what this could be.
Thank you

Chronic granulomatous disease includes entities such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and histoplasmosis. Usually it is a good sign when the pulmonary nodules and/or lymph nodes are partially calcified because it is suggests that your immune cells have surrounded and isolated the infection and/or inflammation.

Are you sure these are all lymph nodes?  I had calcifications in my breast and they weren't lymph nodes.  Now, I did have those removed during a biopsy as they are one of the signs that worry doctors about cancer.  What kind of doctor have you seen?
