What Causes Lumps Under Armpit While Having Lyme Disease?

Hi there- I have two lumps under my armpit. In addition, I have a burning sensation under my arm as well as pain going up my neck and down my arm. Since I have lyme disease I usually attribute most pain to that, but this has me worried. I have had two doctors feel the lumps, but neither of them seemed concerned. One doc said it was a pulled muscle, and the other said that it was most likely fatty tissue. Should I be more persistent about this?
