Moveable lump (pea) between armpit and breast tissue

Hello!

I am just wondering if anyone can help or give me a peace of mind. I've been to the doctors 3/4 times now because both armpits were irritated. Obviously they sent me away saying nothing was there and that I'm young,fit and healthy. I left it but still very conscious of it and I couldn't stop checking everywhere on my body for any other changes. I went back again o Monday and saw a nurse who said she was struggling to find anything and told me to buy some ibrophen gel which I did. Yesterday I was checking and could feel a little moveable lump that disappeared under the skin on my axillary tendon? I've been having pins and needles, neck and back ache so I'm not sure if I have a lipoma pushing on a nerve or what I've strained a muscle but surely a strained muscle doesn't cause lumps? 
 

if anyone can help on this I'd really appreciate it

thank you xx

  • Hello A.paige and welcome to the forum.

    It's good you've seen your GP about this although I'm sorry for the worry this is still causing.

    I hope the ibuprofen gel you were recommended is helping but if your symptoms don't improve or get worse after using it then do be sure to go back to see what they recommend next.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime, we'll have our fingers crossed this resolves itself on it's own.

    All the best,
