Underarm swelling and small soft lump

Hi there, 

Going out on my mind with worry, my left underarm feels more muscular than my right, but as I have a problem with my right shoulder caused from bursitus and impingment i assumed my left just had more muscle because of not using the right as much, I noticed this a few months ago, I have now noticed a smallish like soft lump near the underarm muscle which doesn't move and I am completely freaked out,  I was at the hospital the other day for something else and mentioned it, the dr couldn't find any other lumps in my breasts and said they look symmetrical but to pop to my gp, I have an appointment tomorrow.  I cant function and constantly crying I cant help thinking the worst,  the more I feel it the bigger it feels. Please someone reassure me.

Thank you 

  • Hello Hope and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry no-one was able to get back to you before your had your GP appointment but I hope it went well and they were able to ease your worries about the swelling and lump you found.

    It's always scary when we come across unexplained symptoms but you've taken the right course of action and hopefully it'll be no cause for concern.

    Kind regards,
