Lump In My Armpit

I have the same problem. One started under my left arm, started to go away then two small ones started under my right arm. A nurse told me too much caffeine could be the cause but not sure.

I also have tiny pea size knots under my left armpit that can be painful at times that have been there for a few weeks doctors say that it is my muscles spasams but I do not believe so. If anyone can help with this issue please do so feel free to share the info. So the rest of you here do not feel alone. It seems you get no answer. I will be visiting with someone soon to check them will get back to you as well with my info maybe it will help you as well. Hope all of you get better! :d

I've been having lumps under both of my armpits. They get to the point to where I can barely lift my arms and move them. I went and got a mamogram done & it came back normal,no signs of cancer, but for some reason they just keep coming back...If anyone could help me or make any suggestions, i'd really appreciate it.

Well my mother gets those all the time and they are painful to her. Her do says it is from using scented deoderants.. The stuff clogs your pores, and hair follicles, and creates a fester under the skin.

Well, I quit using deoderant before I got the mamogram done on the 20th of dec. And they keep coming back....They are actually gettin worse...They look like a biol, but it wont pop like they will....

Hi,

i had a mammogram recently for the same thing which came up all clear. I have recently found though that this is possibly a case of blocked lymph nodes. Http://en.Wikipedia.Org /wiki/lymph_node. That's the wiki info on what lymph nodes are. I had extreme pain under my left pit and the who area was very fleshy and swollen. I went to a bowtech practitioner who using the bowen technique stimulated my body to perform lymph drainage within 2 sessions. The area is still puffy but a lot less painful and the lumps are gone. Manual lymph drainage is the proper way to address this.

Why does this happen...The lymph system is a waste removal circulatory system but unlike it's wealthier cousin which has a pump called the heart, it relies entirely on gravity. When ones diet becomes poor moreover when one does less exercise/moving about (my job is such that i've been working at home for the last 6 months) then the body just becomes, for want of a better word, stagnant and all the bad stuff just settles where it is. Bouncing on those mini tramolines is excellent for getting stuff moving again and they are reasonably cheap.

Just my input

My best friend got similar problem underarm on the right... Her physician says no sign of cancer, the nodule is soft. She keeps doing diagnosis every 6 months, she also finds tiny swollen in other area.. High protein, tiredness & work pressure could cause these nodule occur. When she moved her right arm up and backward, painful. I worry about her too. We have been discuss and searching through the net.
We find a chinese medi called 'body builder' from a singapore company. We bought 2 treatments over the net and friend says doing ok so far. She feels like the nodule underarm size getting smaller now and much soft. I am happy to hear that effect and perhaps let you if that works on you! Surf www.Health-guard.Net. We asked the consultant pretty long time so to make such try...At least less side effects compared to chemical/presciption drugs.

Eww I have one of those painful lumps in my pit too, how do I get it to go away it hurts so f***ing much I cant even lift my arm up!

hey...

i just went to see my doctor because i have three bumps under my arm.

I found out that I have Hidradentis Suppurativa .....

Its rare, but its described as pea sized "lumps" that are hard , can be very tendar and red.

they do get worse over time but you can clear them up with antibiotics but they can return in other places. so the best way to et them removed in that spot and not have them show up there again is to have surgery to remove them,..... hope that answers some questions... it did mine.

Hi, I have also been getting these lumps for the past 3 months now and have been to the doctors on several occasions. At first i thought it was a reaction to my deodorant or blocked glands but this isnt the case. The Doctor seems to think it is blocked lymph glands and i have now been on a string on anti biotics. The most recent ones for a month now and are called Doxycycline. Thought it was helping until yesterday when i had 6 outbreak under my right arm. They are so painful. Back to the doctors this morning only to be given yet another months course of the same pills. He also mentioned surgery. Does anyone know of any anti biotics they have used that have worked? Think the ones i am on may not be strong enough. Would rather not go down the surgery route if i can help it.
Thanks.
