Anxiety-Lump in armpit or just bone

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anyone with any experience with armpit lumps can help me, I've been suffering from extreme health anxiety since a little lump turned up outside my ear 9 months ago. Since then I've had blood tests that have come back clear and just last week I had a chest x-ray which came back clear. But I'm still worried because I have been suffering from little bits of armpit pain, and I don't know if I have found a lump deep in my armpit or if it is just bone.

 

And because I am only 18, my family and GP aren't taking my concerns seriously and I don't know if I'm being too much of a hypochondriac.

 

If anyone reads this, thank you.

Abbie

  • Hello! 

    I'm sorry to hear about your pain in the armpits. 

    I am 18 years old too and I have pain on my left breast, which has gotten worse in the last two weeks. I keep feeling little lumps on the pain but I'm so, so worried to the point I haven't been able to sleep. You aren't alone when dealing with health anxiety :) I think you should see your GP about it to put your mind at ease
