swollen glands or boils?
about 7 years ago i started getting lumps in my neck and my doc would give me antibiotics, since then i have been getting them under my arms (arm pit) at first maybe once/twice a year, since february this year i constantly have lumps of variouse sizes, they come but never go, they vary from pea size to very large and can get bloody painful, since february i have not been without any lumps and now i'm getting a throbbing in the right arm starting from the shoulder down the arm that weekens as it reaches my hand and then turns into pins and needles, could the lump be pressed against a nerve or vein? i seen on search engines glands fight infection, if this is glands is it possible to have an infection for eight months, i'm a healthy'ish 39 year old but i do smoke and like the occasional beer (no spirits), is it my glands fighting infection or is it boils, should i be worried, many thanks in advance.
