Hello there
Im wondering if somebody could shed light, reassure or guide me in the right direction please.
I have had on and off pain in my right armpit now for 2 years. I've had a chest x ray all was fine. I don't have a specific lump, it feels like it's a swollen lymp node. Even though there is no lump... I can pin point the area of pain straight away and where the pain stems from. The area is SO sensitive. The pain runs in to my right boob, down my arm, in my fingers. I've tried tablets everything and the pain doesn't go. It's on and off and not always around my menstral cycle so I'm not putting it down to hormonal changes. I struggle to lift things and even drive when the pain is present, it's really starting to worry me that something is underlying. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow as I just need to get to the bottom of this as it's been 2 years and the pain is worsening each time. My doctor said he will examine me but if there is no lump that he can feel .. he cannot refer me. So then I would be left to accept this pain with no understanding of what it is why and it keeps flaring up!! Im tempted to just pay for a private ultrasound. I really am starting to be concerned now. Anyone had the same experience of pain?
thanks
