Hi, I have a 16 years old girl that have both armpit clogged and painful, we have Kaiser insurance. she have a bad time last week with a high fever 103 and was in the ER, after that she stay in the hospital for 2 more days, the make and inception and made a drainage untie the arm, she is taken an very hard antibiotic from them. next thursday she have a plastic surgeon appointment. My wife and I are very worried about a surgery and esthetic effects. our regular doctor said that is the only way to eliminate that problem.

I am so glad I found this page! I have had these lumps for a few years now. My general physician did not know what thEy were. He put me on anti biotic sat first and finally referred me to a surgeon to have it looked at. I was so irritated because after years of not knowing what it was, he looked at me for less than 5 min and was ready to send me on my way! He told me it was extra breast tissue, very common and it would get bigger if I had more kids. The part that really bothered me is that I told him they hurt me, and he said No, they should not hurt. He said only when there's my time of the month. And I tried to explain to him that it was way more than just 1 week out of the month. But he just blew me off! I was glad to read that the pain, was a normal thing for others too, not just me.
Have recently (4 weeks ago) had an excision of right axillary lump and excision of skin. I feel my wound has been healing quite well. However the breast hurts a bit and do occasionally get a little pain from the armpit. My question is that there has been a hard lump near the top of wound is that normal and will it go in time or should I go back to my doctor?
Can u tell me how much did u pay? I'm not sure if my insurance will cover this. Thanks!
hi,,,,my name is fatima..last week i had the same op as you on my right side......actually this was the second time i had it removed. 14 yrs ago i got both sides removed in pakistan....i think the right one still had some Breast tissue left and very soon it grew bk........i ignored it then and learnt to live it until now...........i have two kids and everytime i m pregnant or i have periods the lump use to hurt me....so i got it checked and the doc said its better to get it removed......i dont have alot or recovery day memories from last time....but this time i know its different. i have read a lot of your posts and i noticed when u mention having burning sensation. i have burning sensation on the upper part of my arm actually the upper back of my forearm....and every time i stretch my arm fully i have pain and its like my muscle cant stretch more.....i have had my fluid removed once ...that was 8 days after surgery it was 170 ml.....and now i will go again to get it out on Tuesday.....i want to ask you if u still have the burning sensitive feel to your forearm ? coz i fear i have lymhodema.
