Armpit pain

I have had armpit pain for a couple of month and got told to keep an eye on it anyway mum made me ring doctors and they asked me to go straight down I saw the nurse who checked my breast I said I could not feel any lump but the tenderness under my arm was so sore and a little in my breast  on her examination she felt a lump and has referred me though for further tests she said I should hear within a week li am now obviously in a state of panic she said she wasn't sure if it was my lymph nodes or on my muscle but there was definitely a lump/ mass there.

it then gets you thinking of everything  else that has hurt the last couple of months pain inaching in my middle arm to point it hurts a bit to pick something up this is also on the same side 

my periods are awful I loose clots the size of golf balls and pushes a super tampax out tiredness but struggling to sleep itching all over.

sorry I'm rambling now just panicking a little 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, KelCh.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been so poorly and understandably concerned, but I'm glad you already saw the nurse who referred you to more tests.

    The waiting time can be the worst, and this is something that many ladies here who sat waiting for more tests or their results will understand. Hopefully, others who have been in your position will come along shortly to chat with you, as talking with those who can relate does seem to help.

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that until you hear more from your medical team, you feel that speaking with someone who has a medical background might help, our friendly team of nurses are ready to take your call. They're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    I hope all works out for you, KelCh.

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you 

    I've now also found a pea size lump in my neck on the same side and feel sick 

    the thing is I'm not sure if I'm looking for things and this is just now stress and panic I've had my date for the 18th March which feels ages away 

    I had bloods done yesterday this was nothing to do with the lump as these were booked in previous for thiroid full blood count liver and kidney function and infection as I was tired a lot and my skin hurts 

    I'm ok 1 min and think very logical ( probably and infection or cyst) then I just go into panic mode 

    this site is amazing and just want to thank you all for listening to me ramble 

  • Did you ever have an outcome to this problem. I am also having armpit pain. Thanks
