Armpit pain and lump

For a while now I have been getting lumps under my armpit and pain on the side of my breast going in to my shoulder, Iv been seen by so many doctors and they don’t seem to want to give me a scan even though they think it’s my lymph nodes, I don’t know what to do, I’m exuasted and feeling sick all the time, I think something isn’t right and I’m worrying.

  • Hi Bnicholls12

    Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with lumps and pain for a while. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned by this. 

    You mention that you've seen a number of Dr's. I'm not sure if it's just your GP that you've seen or if you've been referred to Breast Clinic. 

    If you're still struggling with these issues then it would seem sensible to make an appointment to see your GP again. Or maybe to see another Dr at the surgery. Is there someone that you could take with you to the appointment to offer some support and help you explain just how unwell and concerned that you're feeling? 

    If you'd like to speak to one of our team of nurses for some advice then do give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope this helps. 

    Best wishes.

    Hi thank you so much for your reply! Iv seen doctors from my gp as well as other doctors from different gp’s as well and none of them seem as concerned as I am, and thank you I’ll give them a call tomorrow to see what advice they can give me! Thank you!

    Hello,

     

    Did you get any answers? Or did your pain just go away? I also have worsening armpit pain so am seeing my GP again on Tuesday
