Need Advice!!!

Hello everyone, .... I know people say don’t go on forums or self diagnosis sites because you’ll worry more but when it’s happening to you ... & I have a beautiful 4yr old to think about so can’t help but be concerned! Around 6 - 8 wks ago i noticed a few lumps under my right armpit whilst putting deodorant on & thought that it was a bit strange as I’ve never noticed them before..... 3 wks later they were still there so I booked an appointment at the doctor & I’d taken photos of them & my other arm to compare..... the doctor examined my breasts said that they felt normal... she could feel the lumps in my armpit but was “flummoxed “ as to what they were and if they were still there the following week to go back and she might possibly refer me which I did because they were!!... she asked the head doctor to take a look as she didn’t know what to do about them ... he asked did I exercise regularly and I do ( I play numerous sports to a high standard) and put it down to that and said he didn’t think it was anything to get “excited about”!!!  So she then said goback agsin in 4 wks if they’re still there ..... but last wk I felt a full pain in my left groin & yesterday & today the right side of my right breast is hurting .......... pls can someone advise!???!!!.... I’m so scared!!!

 

  • Hi there ...

    Don't panic, firstly ... I've had lots of lumps under my armpit over the years, that went when I stopped feeling them all the time .. it could be due to any trauma in hand or arm .. like a knock or cut ... try not to keep touching them too much ...

    You may have pulled a mustle while playing sport or something Simerla ... but always good to go back to that Dr when other things appear ... this time maybe ask to be refured for a scan as then you'll either put your mind at rest, or know if it's anything to worry about ... 

    I know it's easier said then done but keep as busy as poss ... and remember 8.5 lumps out of 10 are benign. .. so the odds are on your side ... my first 4 call backs from mamorgrams were all clear ...

  • Thank you for your response Christie .... it’s much appreciated..... I’m going back to the doctors on Mon which will be 4 wks from the last time I saw her but I’ve decided that I’m going to ask for a full blood test and a referral..... I know my body and something isn’t right ...for the last year I’ve lost so much weight ( down to 8 stone ) which is why I had a stomach & chest X-ray last summer but I can’t put the weight back on... I’m fatigued and now these lumps & pains!!! Yet my bloods came back normal last time ??!!!!

    Thanks again Chrissie
