Could Exercising Cause Lymph Tenderness?

I have a swollen area in arm pit and had a few nodes taken out 16 yrs ago when I had br ca. Nodes were negative. Swelling started since upper body weight training. Swelling varies and sometimes is painful. Can exercising be cause of lymph tenderness?

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.
Simple physical exercise is not likely to cause lymph node enlargement. There has to be some infection/infiltration by breast tumor ( ca breast recurrane.. but it can be excluded by presence of tenderness. Ca lesion is always firm to hard, fixed to adjoining tissue & painless.. unless infected. )/stress.. itching or engorgement of disturbed lymphatics following excision.
you need to consult your onchologost earliest to assess tje lesion & be relaxed/start with proper management
Thanks.
