I have recently discovered, what feels like a lump in my left armpit. There are no bites, punc tures or anything of that nature. I do have a strenuous job which requires alot of heavy lifting. I have tightness in the muscles in my arm and when I touch it, I feel sick to the stomach and shooting pain to the groin area. I know, weird. So 2 part question, are there nerves that extend that far and should I be concerned about the lump?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged lymph node, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedic for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
