Fullness in armpit

Hi,

First off, I'm not very good at checking my breasts for lumps. I do check monthly but I'm just not sure I'm checking correctly. 

However,  I've had a full sensation in my armpit for the last few months. I can't feel any lumps, or I don't notice anything out of the ordinary, but imagine holding a tennis ball under your arm, that's the sensation I have. I've mentioned it to my doctor but they didn't seem concerned. 

Do you think this is something worth me pushing them to see me for? I've only had phone reviews. 

Thanks

  • Hi,

    doesn't sound worrying. Sounds like a muscle pain or a little inflammation. 
     

    but I would ring your doctor and ask for a  face to face appointment so they can check your breasts and armpits and put your mind at rest.  
     

    I got to my doctor to check mine the other month, as like you I'm not very good at doing it. 
     

    they did all around my breasts and checked my armpits. 
     

    Best wishes x
