Armpit pain and some pain that radiates to breast

[lola2859]

I have pain in the left armpit for about 3 months.  It has gotten progessively worse, so I have a mammo and u/s in a week.  I was wondering if anyone had this pain, and what were the results.  When I post this question on other breast cancer forums, the only people who reply are the ladies who have been dx with bc, so they all answer they have had my pain and have had bc.

Also, I think that I feel a swollen lymph node in my left armpit, but I can feel a similar "lump" in my other armpit, so I am not sure if swollen.  The left armpit does feel as if there is something swollen in there like an egg.

Thank you

Breast cancer is rarely associated with pain ... there is one type where breast pain is an issue but there are other very obvious symptoms as well. An enlarged lymph node has several causes ... one is an infection somewhere in the body and sometimes it can be as simple as an infected hair follicle. You are wise to have taken action to investigate this problem. I'm sure the mammogram and/or ultrasound will settle the issue.  Regards ..
