I found a lump about a month ago and it was about the size of a large marble.....no infections, been on the same meds for a long time, no allergies. Now the lump is almost the size of a golf ball. It is located in the left arm 3" from the center of the arm pit. It tends to make my left hand get numb and my arm often hurts. My grandfather has colon cancer and my mom had breast cancer. I am 34 yrs old and have not had any trauma or infection of any type.

I found a lump under my left arm very close to the breast, I put it down to nothing but over the past week I have noticed it has got bigger and I am unsure off what it could be, it is not painful as such but i know it's there now as when i have my arm by my side i can feel it.

I dont want to scare you but definately go get it checked out. I had a lump under my arm, got a breast exam which there was no BREAST lump felt. Less than a year later I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Yours is probably NOT cancer but just to be safe dont put it off as the lump under my arm was not hard either. Cancerous breast lumps are whats hard not armpit nodes. Good luck to you I know you are fine but just go to the doc and get some peace of mind.

Hi Janet,If I were you I wouldn't wait,but go to your doctor and have it checked out.A lump in the arm pit could be a swollen lymph node that might suggest an infection or something else.Why live with the doubt? Any lump in the body should promptly be examined by a trusted doctor.Believe me you are not over reacting by being worried about this lump.It's your body and you deserve to have peace of mind, especially that you mention that it's not going away.

im 23 and I have a lump in 1 of my breast..its been there for maybe 5 years or more and it hurts sometimes only in the spot where the lump is..around my period it seems to feel like pins and needles I guess and it feels a bit tender and my breast in general seem more tender. the lump hasn't gotten bigger and its seems to be moveable and hurts w/e spot it moves..could this be a cyst? also the arm where my breast is at seems to feel prickly like pins and needles sometimes..

It is not a pain as it does not hurt so to say, but it is quite uncomfortable and my arm tingles a little bit while using it. Also when my arm is just sitting at my side I feel pressure on my armpit area coming from my arm on the problem side, yet the other side feels fine. Please advise, and if I posted this at the wrong forum please advise where to post. Thanks.

we unwrapped the sling and my underarm odor was unreal foul. My wife is an OR-RN and she told me I had developed skin breakdown under my arm and down my lat. We tried to wash my armpit but I had a lump about quarter size and super sore. I went to the doctor b/c I felt achy, but no fever. He put me on Clindimyacin 300mg TID on 2/23/12 along with Clotrimazole topical oint. to treat a secondary bacterial infection stemming from the initial fungal infection on my skin.

My friend missed a shot of meth in his arm and now has a large lump. If he presses on it will it release the drugs into his system or make it worse?

So ive just noticed a lump in my right armpit. I know it can be glands etc and nothing to worry about. But people have told me it shouldnt hurt and it is. Not extremely painful but enough to irritate me and remember its there. You can also notice it by just looking. I will be making a doctors appointment for at the end of the week but just wanna know if I should worry or not.

hi, 2 days ago i found a lump under my arm in my arm pit. its stayed the same size, it doesnt hurt but its a little tender if i press it hard, its the size of a malteaser .. and its quite hard? i dont feel ill, and its not a spot or an ingrown hair because its on the border of where i would usually shave my arms.. when i lift my arm up you can see the lump clear as daylight .. it doesnt look red it just looks like my normal colour skin have you got any idea what it could be?

When I touch it it feels swollen an when I have this pain it will leave for a couple months then come back it also hurts to put my arm all the way down because of the pain in my armpit

I have a lump in my armpit and I don't really know what it is or where is came from. I went to my doctor and he said that it was just a lump and it would go away in a few days. That was 3 weeks ago. It is still here. I don't know what to do but I hope you people can help me out just a bit. Thanks teen.girl.

On my left arm, above my elbow, There is a lump kind of deep. It's not too large is size, but about the length of a small apple. It's painful and feels like it puts off a slight pressure. It's been bothering me for a while, and I'm starting to get pretty concerned about it. There is also a slight pain in about the same spot on my other arm also. I know I'm probably just sick on top of this, but I'm really feeling bad. Ahy help?

I have a golfball sized lump in my armpit doesnt cause me any pain but ive been pukimg everyday and very nauseous I also keep getting a sore on my inner lip getting worried please help.

It is not bad, just enough for me to notice. I also noticed that there is a lump in the middle of my armpit. My L armpit does not have this. Could this just be a swollen lymph node?

3 weeks ago I became aware of lump in my left armpit, but only because of discomfort, not what I would call real pain (although I have a very high pain threshold). I went to a walk-in centre and saw a nurse on the that Thursday evening and managed to get an appointment at my GP surgery the following Tuesday. At the walk-in centre the diagnosis was a blocked sweat-gland, but the GP diagnosed a swelling in a lymph gland. The GP also checked for lumps in the breast and found nothing.

I found a lump under my arm and I can't tell if it is part of the muscle or not it is about and inch around and it is soft and has no feeling, the other arm does not feel thesame so that is why I am concerned. Just concerned but it might be nothing.

A couple weeks ago I noticed that there was a tender lump under my arm, when I squeezed it a little pus came out but after that, nothing. It's no longer hurting unless I bother it and now it's just like a pea-sized lump there. I have had boils before that have left a lump similar to this one. Could this be a boil or what? I'm very concerned... This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/227417'>Swollen lymph node?</a>.

My daughter is 22 and also had a lump in her arm pit, the doctor said it was a cist, but get it check to be sure!

I have a lump also in my armpit. I've scheduled an appointment next week to get it checked out. My grandmother who I look like died of Hodgkins Disease so I want to make sure it is nonthing of the sort. I would say if it doesn't hurt and not discolored it probably not a cyst or boil.

Hello all. I've had a lump in my elbow crease for a very long time now (years). Sometimes there is no pain at all but sometimes the pain is quite sharp. I'm guessing that's because it might be pushing down on some nerves in my arm. Every doctor that I've gone to tells me it's not a big deal and I shouldn't worry about it. Lately it's been bothering me more often than not. Sometimes when I wake up and extend my arm it is quite painful.

I have had a lump under my right arm for the past two months. Lately, it seems to have got bigger. When I press it, it hurts and moves a little. My doctor has ordered an ultrasound and MRI now; quite frankly, he seemed a little shocked. I have breast implants and was told two years ago that one of them had leaked. Could this be linked? Thank you for your time. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/260630'>Lump under my arm</a>.
