Is A Lump On Left Armpit A Cause For Concern?
A PT found a lump in my left armpit and refused to do any more therapy before I see a Dr. I had a mammogram 6 days ago and results were good, and had my yearly fun female visit 4 days ago and thus far she suspects nothing unusual. I am a 48, no clue of family history-- adopted. I will call for an appointment with my Dr. tomorrow. How concerned should I be. I have no interesting history, healthy, no meds.

Hello, welcome to HCM.I have few questions to rectify before i answer. You are confidant That mammography report was normal. If so then you dont worry about that lump. If it is not normal, then the swelling is due to lymphnode enlargement related to breast.
Ok. report is normal, then the swelling present tells of other things like: it may be due to enlargement of Glands or simple tumour like lipoma or lymphnode enlargement due to infection elsewhere. Kindly get an appointment with the surgeon for further treatement. My best wishes with you. Take care.
