What Causes Lumps In The Armpit And On The Ribs?

Hi I have a lump in my left arm pit about 1inch by 1/2 inch that I get discomfort from and also suffer severe night sweats and sleep paralysis. I also found a lump where my rib cage meets which was said to be costochondritis. I suffer back pain allot these days but put it down to my job. I m 28 years old and a little worried it may be lymphoma. Iv had chest scans, blood tests etc and am awaiting a ultra sound for my arm pit.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged lymphnode or benign tumour. Enlarged lymphnode may be due to reactive lymphnode, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology. Then take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health
