Does H Pylori Cause Pain In Arm Pit And Cause Cancer?
Hi i am taking antibiotics for h pylori and i would like to know if this infection could cause my left under arm pit to hurt when i walk. I know i have lymp nodes but under my left armpit is tender and i have experience a hard throbbing pain only twice under my rib cage when i lay down on my left side. But when i am walking around sometimes it hurt and sometimes it doesn't. Is this a sign of cancer?

H pylori infection can increase risk of stomach cancer but your signs and symptoms do not indicate stomach cancer . antibiotics will remove the risk of stomach cancer.
If you are a female get your breast examination done . if you are a male get a chest xray and ultrasound abdomen and pelvis to find the cause.
