Hi I have a large lump in my right armpit, I can ony feel it when I raise my arm or tough the back of my head it gets bigger. I m right handed and the lump is bigger on the right compared to my left. I have two - one in each armpit both in the same place. It feel like its part of my back or shoulder muscle. It s hard and only hurts after I ve touched it for a little while an sometimes gets bigger the more I touch. They ve been there for a year since I started weight training and not sure if its anything serious or part of my muscle? I ve recently had a blood test and failed slightly on one of the parts - the infection part but only by 0.4. Quite worried but I m perfectly healthy I play tennis a least 3 times a week just my armpit aches where the lump is the day after.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged axillary lymph nodes. It may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
