Had mammogram but now found swelling under left armpit

Hi am new to this group, my mammogram came back last week it was fine, but on Friday I noticed my left armpit is more inflamed then the other, no lump just feels like jelly I have been using my left arm different at work could this be the cause, and am I over thinking Cos my friend has just been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer thanks 

  • Welcome to the forum Aaslett although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    It's understandable why you would be worried given what's happened with your friend but as you've just had your mammogram and it's come back all clear maybe you could keep an eye on it for a week or two and if it hasn't improved then go back to your GP.

    As you say it could be because you're using your arm differently which has made it sore so do give it a little bit of time to see if it recovers naturally.

    Fingers crossed all will be back to normal for you soon Aaslett.

    Kind regards,
