Sore armpit

I don't feel any lumps under my armpit, but have had soreness in the area for the past 5-6 days. I do lift free weights and do push ups every other day. I am in my 50"s and worry about all kinds of cancers.Is it possible to get this soreness is from exercise?

Don't know if you can get it from exercise. But it is usually a sign of swollen lymph nodes in that area. You should have it checked by your doctor. I have had these before and it led to nothing. But you are better to be safe then sorry.
