hi thanks for writting to health care magic.
Lumps under the arm pit what is called as axilla in medical terminology are usually lymph nodes and the get enlarged in response to some bacterail infection in their vicinity.lumps associated with tirdness tuberculosis is a the possibility but in tuberculosis lumps would'nt go with out treatment for prolonged time.Since the lumps are no more there is nothing to worry most probably it was reactionary enlargement of lymph node to some acut bacterail infection in their vicinity.
Hope this answers your question.
