Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have enlargement of lymph nodes in your axilla. You are also having backache. You have got much blood work done but you found nothing. In my opinion you can get your lymph node biopsy done to reach at conclusion. You can also MRI of spine done to see cause of backache. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin D3 supplements will be required to strengthen your back if it is low. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
