Hi everyone, I’m beyond disappointed to be back here again. I haven’t been on for quite a while and thought I was really tackling this health anxiety. In some way I guess I have but in others not so much.
Anyway as you can tell by the title I’m concerned over a small less than pea sized lump/bump in my armpit. It started a few days ago when I woke up and my armpit felt a bit sore so naturally I looked and felt it expecting to see a red spot. I’ve had plenty of those before but I couldn’t see anything but could feel a slight bump or lump not really sure which it is. It feels smaller than pea sized. The first day it was so painful and I couldn’t raise my arm and it hurt even when my arm was relaxed by my side. The past couple of days it now only hurts if I actually press on it. I worry because all you ever hear is get lumps checked out and for women it can be related to breast cancer.
If anyone has had the same thing let me know. Just want to know there is nothing to worry about. I’m not going to run to my doctors I know to wait at least two weeks. I’m hoping within that time it will have gone.
Thank you in advance :)
