Anyone else have swollen armpits?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and recently diagnosed with HH. I currently have shoulder bursitis and have suffered tiredness since a teenager. I've been getting swelling and tender in my armpits when I lie down sometimes. Doctor doesn't know what it is and I've had a breast ultrasound done with nothing abnormal. It comes and goes. Has anyone else had this?

    Shoulder pain often comes with menopause not being treated with oestrogen.  Don't know about swelling in armpits.  Maybe swollen lymph glands (which you dr should have identified anyway).  Perhaps a lymph gland drainage massage might relieve.

    Be aware that you might feel nauseous after such a massage, as all the "toxins" are drained into your stomach.
