Sore armpit

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello all,

Has anyone else suffered from a sore puffy armpit? I had small cysts in my breast in early December that have resolved but now i have a puffy armpit. Its sore along the edge where my bra top sits and often burns. I have also been feeling run down for a couple of weeks but it never develops into anything.

I have read that peri plays havoc with your lymphatic system so is this just another annoying symptom

Thanks for reading

    hi Sarah yes and it developed to superficial lumps which were checked at the breast clinic with an ultrasound and mammogram done previously.

    It's stressful the body changes 😪

      I know sending you warm hugs. Thanks for asking had my appointment with one specialist about my bowels and I'm having a colonscopy and a deep liver scan. Not looking forward to the colonscopy as I had an endoscopy and their were patients having colonscopys . I have to preparation beforehand.

      have my gynecologist appointment next week.

      Just want to fast forward all my appointments. The anticipation gives me such health anxiety 😫

      Sending love, sometimes I feel like the Doctors are so ignorant about Peri and all its symptoms that they put us through so many tests we don't need in a bid to find something tangible wrong!

      I never realised before that hormones cause so much chaos. I'm doing as much research as I can 😃

      Hope you have a better day today x

      me too. I have This Morning on in the background when I'm working and they were talking about perimenopause last week. About how many Drs and hospital appointments are being taken up due to perimenopause due to the lack of knowledge from DRs!

      It just feels like one thing after another and then my health anxiety kicks in and I wonder if hormones really can cause all this and if I'm really ill. Some day's I find it hard to shake the feeling that something is seriously wrong 😦

      Today my rib is sore where it meets under my boob in the middle and I feel sick. I also feel extra tired today not helped by the fact that I now wake up at least twice every night for a wee.

      Just plodding away at work trying not to think or worry some day's are harder than others

      sending love and hugs to you

      struggling today, my ribs and armpit are really painful (probably not helped by my constant prodding and poking and checking for lumps. My armpit is definitely swollen now and feels like it has water filled bumps under it. I'm so fed up but feel like I have to put on a happy face at work and at home. I either want to go to the middle of a field and scream or climb into bed and never get up.

      Hope you have a good day

      Sending hugs

      oh don't touch around that area as my DR advised it make it more sore. Your hormones should settle as I had this and it went. I'm know what you mean with work. I've struggled to concentrate and this week has been a rubbish week with work! Also doesn't help having good morning Britain on and celeb came on talking about her bowel C diagnosis which threw me in anxiety today!!!!

      I just want my colonscopy done!!!!

      sending you the biggest gentle hugs. have you tried taking B6 great to calm down breast pain

    Hi Sarah

    Yes I get achy armpits. Used to be during ovulation and period but there's no pattern to it anymore. I also get an ache in my groin. Another great peri symtom!! I've also got lumps in my armpits that have been checked and are fine. I have breast cysts too.

    Hugs xxx

      do your lumps sometimes feel big then small? I hate going to the gym and doing weights as it gives me anxiety seeing them as they look bigger in the gym mirrors

      Hi thanks for the reply 😃

      I'm so fed up visiting the doctor I tend to leave things for a few weeks to see if they just get better. Only trouble with that is my health anxiety kicks in and I start to think I have something seriously wrong.

      Who would have thought this phase in our lives would be so rubbish in parts.

      Today I woke up with a sore rib right under my boob in the middle

      Just trying to make it through the work day trying not to worry or stress about all the bits that hurt

      Sending hugs

      Sarah
