Swollen Underarm

[sethan]

Saturday, Jan. 8, I noticed that my right underarm seems a little swollen. It is in the middle of my underarm and a small area. It is not very noticeable and you have to look pretty close to notice. The underarm is not painful but occasionally I get a very slight pain in my arm. There are no lumps in the area. I had a friend who is a nurse at the local Women's Care Center  look at it. She said it is possibly swollen but is hard to tell. She felt around and said she felt nothing abnormal. We had a bad ice storm here and all my doctor office is closed. I have checked symptoms online and have gotten myself very scared. I am 44 years old and in good health.

I'm glad they open tommorow so you won't have to worry. It sounds like it could be possible you might have an infection. No lumps is very good. Please let me know what your outcome is.
Take care, K

Thanks for your reply. My doctor's office will be open tomorrow and I have an appointment. My underarm has began to hurt some and I am having an occasional pain in my breast and nipple but I have not felt a lump.

Please don't get online and scare yourself until you get a good diagnosis, then you can look at your diagnosis online. There are too many variables to try to diagnose online. Be calm, especially since you are lucky enough to have a friend as a nurse. I would say she would be pretty on track. Just make your appt as soon as you can and go from there.
Take care, K
