No lumps but left armpit pain sometimes across chest

I have experienced the above pain a lot in my life it is actually one of my symptoms I get during my period . It's always the same for me . Coming on pain under arm,across chest at times finish my period it all goes well this month I noticed for one my period was different only lasted a few days out of my usual 7 ! Amd the pain didn't go .

I also get this pain with certain deodrants which when this happens I stop using . I did read certain deodrants (sprsy) can do this to you're lympth nodes .

There is no lumps or chamges I have checked sofas my partner . I make sure they check everything including back and shoulder they say it's the same on both sides.  If course have panicked myself googled the hell out of all this .I just really want some advise I struggle with the GP I have medical anxiety and haven't been for over 4yrs .

I admittedly have been a but stressed lately over thinking a lot of things and maybe all this is just stressing myself out .

Any advice please 

  • A very warm welcome to the forum Peanutsandbananas although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    It's always worrying when we become aware of certain symptoms we hadn't noticed before, but it's good you're keeping an eye on things. If your symptoms don't improve, or continue to get worse, then it would be advisable to see your GP as they will be able to examine you and let you know if this is any cause for concern. Hopefully that won't be the case but by seeing your GP you will be able to get some answers and some much needed peace of mind.

    I know you said you struggle with your GP, so I hope some of these tips on how to talk to your doctor will help.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon, but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Peanutsandbananas and will have our fingers crossed that everything will be ok.

    Kind regards,
