No lumps but armpit pain?

Hello all,

 

I have no lumps, no changes in breasts etc. But I have pain in my armpit. It isn't there all the time, but I feel it throughout the day. Has anyone else had this? Is it just hormonal or could this be a sign of something else?

 

Thank you :)

  • No I left it :( I think it's my lymph nodes it seems to have died now for now. I am seeing a lady gp 10th jan will speak to her then about it. Please let me know how you got on x

     

  • Hey,

    How did you get on?

    I've recently been experiencing pain and tenderness in and around my armpit, can sometimes be quite sore to touch. 

    Going to try and book an appointment with the doctor this week. 

    I did wonder too if it were swollen lymph nodes but best to get it checked out. 
     

  • I currently have pain when I press on both sides just towards the frontal part of armpit no lumps no pain unless I press on find it weird and scary at the same time anyone else had this?

  • Hi,

    My experience of  armpit pain was 2 weeks ago.  Very tender so I booked to see a docto and saw the nurse practitioner who examined me and said I had probably pulled a muscle.  4 days later pain had spread to breast and the doctor gave me inflammatory tablets.  They didn't really help.

    I phoned emergency doctor on Boxing Day and she is doing an referral which is freaking me out.  I'm trying to stay calm but woke in the night and now got headache from worrying so much.   My  husband and daughters are trying to be upbeat but it's the not knowing

    The waiting is the worst, my pain comes and goes I can't feel any lumps.  Bloody Google is not helping and last night I was convinced it was something..

    Hopefully it's just nothing but I would always go to the doctors and get checked if it's bothering you.

  • Thank you I will try get in the docs I don't get pain unless I press on which is weird I'm sure it'd nothing but I'm terrible for googling things then it makes my health anxiety alot worse I really need to stop 

  • I have done alot of Googling and nothing gives me good news.  I was the same at first only when I touched it was there pain, I'm sure I made it more tender.  Now I have heaviness in my breast which after research could mean a number of things.   That's why it's best to go to the doctors, Google doesn't give answers only fear.

     

     

  • Definitely my partner is pretty sure I've got nothing to worry about but I'll go for peace of mind sure hes tempted to take my fone away because of all the googling I do which then I end up upset and in tears I've decided to start creative journaling just to keep my mind busy so I dont Google things 

  • Mine is on the left side and is very sore when I touch it, but my pain is just below my armpit and goes around the back. 

  • Mine is literally in both only when I press on thats why fella doesn't think its anything to worry about but as I say my health anxiety is really bad I worry over the slightest thing and everything in my head is the dreaded c word it's taking over my life now but I hope.you get some answers 

  • I have the same but have recently had the Moderna booster and an upper respiratory infection so I'm hoping it's due to my body's immune system doing its thing. Its a common side affect for the Moderna booster so thought I'd mention it here.
