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!!!

    Hi Doglover,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I totally agree with Jenn's advice. I am glad to hear that the doctor that you saw at the walk in centre advised you to get an ultrasound scan done. The only way to be absolutely certain that all is clear, is to have some scans done, then to possibly follow these by a biopsy. 

    I know that this is a worrying time, so I hope that you get your scan soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
