What Causes A Knot Below The Breast After A Body Massage?
I had a body massage 4 weeks ago and I told the therapist I had a knot just below my bra line on my left side. She told me afterward it felt like fluid and not a knot. I went back 2 weeks later and she said it felt the same. She described it as like squeezing a water balloon where the water goes from one side to another...wondering if this is just inflammation or should be checked out.
It may be a lipoma possible it may present like mobile, rubbery, subcutaneous benign tumor may arise from fat tissue. Nothing to worry I just mentioned possible diagnosis without examination you have to confirm it by consulting your doctor. Don't worry it is no harm to you.
Other possibilities like Sebaceous cyst or hydatid cyst of chest or lymph node enlargement etc.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
