Can A Triceps Strain Cause Armpit Lymph Node To Swell?
Question: Can a triceps strain cause armpit lymph node to swell? Had a sore triceps after a workout and then noticed a swollen lymph node the next day (The redness resulted from me touching it and has since subsided). 3 days later the lymph node is not as large or painful (only painful if I really push at it), but still present in the armpit. About 1.5 cm. No more triceps pain. No other symptoms present, no minor colds or illnesses in the past year.
Brief Answer:
Yes

I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
Yes, lymph nodes can swell after any injury/ muscle strain near lymph node. But this is temporary and improves with time.
I hope your query is clear now.
