I hope things work out for you. I have swollen lft. breast. swollen groin on lft. as well as underarm...now in addition to this the chest and clavicle bone has been swelling.  Started with gyncologist and a result of 95% benign on mamogram n MRI.  I am now going to see a Gen. Prac. This has been going on for 2 mos now, with fatique, poping knee bones and that constant shooting-burning paon across the chest which is now starting to hahit the right side.  I am more frightened because no one seems to know what it is. Antibiotics for 2 weeks did not work.  Its nice this site is here.  It makes me feel less alone.
Sincerely.

I hope you got your mammogram and that everything turned out well. I am presently being treated for breast cancer and I wish I had gone when I first noticed the swollen node under my arm. So I say all this to say that I think you are brave and very smart for taking action! YOU GO GIRL!!!

Hi,

How old are you? Since how long have you noticed the lumps?

Underarm lumps are axillary lymph nodes which could be enlarged secondary to infection or even trauma. They are usually enlarged when a new deodorant is used, after shaving or waxing the underarm area.

Have you got an ultrasound done as yet and have you got a clinical examination got done by a physician? This would help in coming to a confirmed diagnosis.

Let us know if you have any more doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Let us know about the mammogram report too.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
