Lumps in arms and sudden headache

[ashasr]

For about five months I have had a lump under my arm the size of an olive and a lump on my upper thigh, same size. They have no color just tender. My Doctor doesn't know what it is. He said maybe erythema nodosum, yet I looked it up online and the pictures and description don't match what I have by a long shot. I have a biopsy on 7/11, but now I am beginning to to get headaches that I would describe as a migraine. It begins on the right side of my head as a sharp pain that radiates to the whole right side of my head. Also, my pinky, ring and middle finger of my left hand are constanty pins and needles.  I am beginning to really freak out. I'm sure none of this is related or big, but my doctor not being able to give me answers is frustrating and scary.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
There is a chance that you have compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. This can cause headache, tingling in arms and hands etc as you are experiencing.
The lumps that you have could be neurofibroma (collection of nerve and fibrous tissue) or lipoma (localized collection of fat). They could also be hematomas or swollen lymhnodes.
Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

deep vein thrombosis? most commonly in legs but also in arms.

hang in there the biopsy will hopefully be valuable as to what the lumps are.  Good luck though.
