What Is A Lump In The Crease Of My Left Arm?

I had tyroid cancer and spread to lymph nodes in my neck. It has been a year. I feel a lump in the crease of my left arm.if a sleep on it or bend my arm for period of time i feel pressure and it gets numb. I never had a whole body cat scan. Could It be cancer? Or and enlarge, hardened lymph node from the radioactive radiation?

Hi.
The location you described - the crease of arm has no nodes at all in a normal anatomy position.
This may be something else , may be related to the joint or the bone. A simple x-ray may be helpful as is the opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon.
