Armpit lump

Hi everyone, yesterday morning when I got dressed I noticed a large lump in my armpit, rang gp and there was no appointments so went to the walk in centre. The gp dismissed this and told me I've pulled a muscle. Thing is, how likely is it to have pulled a muscle from sleeping. It's a hard lump that can't move. I'm also a lot more tired and less appetite (I get hungry but then full very quickly). Wanting to hear some other peoples stories, he also then told me to ring gp this morning for a referral to ultrasound thanks!!!

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found a lump. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about this. 

    We would recommend that anyone who has concerns about a lump speaks with their GP. As you've already seen a Dr at the walk-in centre who advised you to contact your GP to request an ultrasound you may have already contacted the surgery again. If not do give them a call next week and explain the situation. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for some answers about what this lump may be. 

    Best wishes,
