Pain Under left armpit now right

[groove1]

I went to the doctor today because I had something similar. It turns out I pulled a muscle between tow or my ribs. But do not take any chances with anything that has symptoms of clots.

I have had a sore armpit, like an ache for a day and now I have a swelling under my right armpit. Its quite sore and my imagination is running riot. I had a hystertomy a year and a half ago and im only 36 so I am imagining the worst. Im a on a low does of HRT. Can anyone put my mind at rest until I see my doctor? It takes ages to be able to get an appointment.

Its not terrible pain, just like sore, or an ache. I dont' notice any difference if I move a certain way, lift things etc. I don't feel lumps in arm pits or breasts. I was having some odd stomach issues and sore throat and throat pain about 3 weeks ago up until last week. Could this just be from a virus.. I'm not one to ever get this kind of pain there. I've scheduled an apt for the doc but its just the waiting game till the apt and my nerves get to me. So anyone else have this prob or experienced it.. I feel like I've been falling apart for the past couple weeks! Thanks

It sounds like a swollen lymphnode and when they hurt it means the nodes have "caught" something, aka, virus, etc. It's kinda like a lint trap in the dryer. You should be concerned if there is no pain and it's a hard lump.

You should always check out any lumps. It can be a simple infection or something more. Cancer is
commonly not painful but it can be painful as well.

Hi did you ever find out what was wrong? I have had a few problems myself lately but over the past few days i have an aching left boob and it spreads under my armpit. When im feeling for any lumps it really aches and starts to feel hot. Any ideas!!! THANKS KIM.

Has anyone had this happen to them, I went to Primary Dr. and said it probably was an infection inside, he gave me a strong antibiotic Clindamycin (spelling??) and it seemed to help. But since I have been off of the antibiotic for about a couple of weeks, it seems to be reappearing.
Is this to do with the lymph nodes or something else?
If anyone has this ~ please send an email my way. Thanks
