Lymph Node
« on: February 23, 2008, 10:33:35 AM »
I have had a pain under my right arm pit for about 1 month I went to the Dr's about 2 weeks ago she said everything felt normal no lumps the pain continued so I went back to the Dr yesterday as the pain is still there and I am beginning to panic now.Dr said's she can now feel an enlarged lymph node she said it could be the area on my finger that I picked at because of nerves but that wasn't done a month ago.She has put me on antibiotics.I am really worried that it is something more serious and I can't help but panic does any one else get a enlarged lymph node under their armpit that is very painful and what was your diagnosis? :(

I have gotten swollen lymph nodes under my armpits a couple of times due to shaving.  They are tender and swollen for a while but slowly go away.  I wouldn't worry especially since you picked something there.  Lymph nodes are our defense against infections, so if a bacteria got in to that scratch then the lymph node may have caught it.

They could also be swollen becasue you keep poking at it.  I did this a few years back.

The antibiotic should clear things right up and you should be fine. I would not be concerned.
