Brief Answer:
Breast and armpit ultrasound are necessary to diagnose it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Palpable lumps in the armpit can indicate enlarged lymph nodes. If there is also breast pain on the same side, it is very probable that the reason of enlarged lymph nodes lies in this breast. As the breast is painful, some kind of benign issues like cysts (most common) can be the reason.
I suggest you to do not wait with it any longer. Please consult your doctor. Armpit and breast ultrasound should be done at first. In case of cyst presence, biopsy should be done to evacuate the fluid.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
