enlarged lymph node

Hi :)

 

In the past year I've visited my doctors a couple times for a lymph node in my armpit that had swollen, sometimes it would come up when i'm a bit unwell, other times it would be for no reason. My gp always had the same answer as to "come back if it swells again". I gave up with this as it was always this same answer.

 

However, I noticed the other day it had swollen again with no reason and was just wondering what anyone's advice would be on what to do? I feel like a nuisance asking my gp but it seems strange to me?

 

 

Thank you

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    If you are worried about this lymph node then get checked out by your GP again. Perhaps ask, because this has happened a few times before, if you should get a ultrasound scan done?

    I think it is fair to say that most lumps and bumps are not caused by anything serious but if you are concerned get checked out again to be on the safe side.

    Take care,

    Caroline
