Hi. I have been looking for some answers to my symptoms as they are quite worrying and I was hoping to hear some advice/experience before I go to the doctor next week. A month ago I found a painless lump in my right underarm. I originally thought that it might be an infection due to a cold or something. Since then the lump has grown in size and is now really quite painful. It does move and I have pain in the right side of my ribs. It also hurts when I breathe and the pain/breathlessness is worse when I'm active. I have also been experiencing discomfort and pain behind my tummy button for a while now. I became concerned in December when I had two glasses of champagne and shortly after experienced pain in my upper chest/arms. I put this down to having a heart condition but now I'm not so sure. Since last summer I have been suffering from debilitating migranes/headaches, I had these checked out and nothing came back. I have had a cough for 2 months now. Last year I woke in the night with agonising pain in my knees and felt like I had broken them and had to crawl to the bathroom. I have only experienced 'night sweats' a few times so I don't think I count that as a symptom. I experience chest pain and chest bone pain almost everyday now. I am always tired and either lying/sitting down or napping. I have very itchy legs and thought it was because of the weather change or the clothes I was wearing until I realised that the soles of my feet, palms of my hands and breasts were extremely itchy. I have been suffering from back pain as well. If anyone could let me know what their first symptoms were of lymphoma and how they *knew* what it was, that would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!
