Brief Answer:
Lymph nodes

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You had surgery 10 days ago and now you notice lumps in your armpit. These are probably lymph nodes that are reacting to the recent surgery. They are to be expected and do not indicate any disease or infection. They will resolve gradually over the next 1-2 weeks. If they last longer then have your medical provider check them out.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
