Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Can Cause A Painful Spot In The Armpit And Numbness In The Hand?
Foe the last year an uncomfortable spot deep in my armpit/inner arm has been slowly growing down my bicep. Last week it caused my entire arm to feel weak and numb. I massaged it deeply on Sunday night and suddenly my entire lymphatic system is in quite a bit of pain. Shoulders, elbow, neck, hips and knees and everything in between. No fever. Night sweats have been an increasing issue and blood work on Monday revealed increasing white and platelets. I m in pain.
In my opinion, you are probably suffering from lymphangitis (inflammation of the lymphatic system). Please consult your doctor for proper examination and diagnosis + treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
