Bloated tummy, lump and pain, other lumps all over too.

1 year+, small painful lumps/ nodes kept appearing all over my body, would stay for a couple of months then go. Occasional night sweats, sometimes to the point of needing to change bedding or PJ's.
4 months ago-painful lump/node next to my right breast on ribs, area looks dimpled, Pain in armpit. Sent for mamagram, which didn't even cover this area, so given all clear.
4+ months ago started itching every single night.
3 months ago groin ache started, feels like a small swelling is there.
1 month ago, two small lumps/ nodes appeared in my right arm.
3 weeks ago my stomach bloated up so much that can't take deep breaths plus a lump two inches below my right ribs in my abdomen, with pain plus feel sick all the time.
2 weeks ago painful lump on the base of my head, ache in neck and jaw. Left armpit now feeling achey too.
Blood counts ok, thyroid ok, ca125 ok, ESR ok,

Anyone else had anything similar or any ideas?

Did a doctor agree that you have lumps, and if so what did she say about each of them since you list various body areas which are likely unrelated to each other?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I it's been different doctors each new symptom. One felt the one next to my right breast and sent me for a mammogram, which didn't even cover that area.
Any there GP saw me for the lump in my bloated stomach and did the blood tests and another GP saw me for the groin and just said wait and see.
I've also got another lump on top of my head which isn't painful like the others,  but no, no doctor has linked them, but since I only get a 5 min appointment with the doctor, they only concentrate on 1 thing at a time.
I've had low vitamin D for 4+ years which I'm given tablets for and it gets to a low normal with them so I'm told to stop taking them, but then my vitamin d drops low again very quickly.  
Recently I've been told that I've got low ferritin but was just told to eat more spinach.
I also have had raised ALT levels for 2+ years, but nothing is being investigated.
I'm just fed up of feeling so tired and in pain.
I can't understand much of your reply. You said you saw docs but one said wait and see for the groin - you didn't mention what the docs said about the other areas. One didn't cover the area, so I can't understand why you didn't mention that to the doc.
Sorry I don't know what you mean.
I've explained how the different doctors can all feel the lumps and how one doctor said wait and see for the groin lump, another doctor sent me for blood tests because of the stomach lump, ( which is now 2 lumps), another doctor sent me for a mammogram for the lumps under my arm, but the mammogram didn't even take a picture of the area in question.( There was only 1 then, but now there are 3 nodes/ lumps).
Apparently there is no time in a GP appointment to talk about more than one problem, I've tried to, but have been told that it's too much to deal with in one appointment, 1 appointment, 1 problem I'm told.
