painful armpit lumps pms?

Question

for the past 4 yrs my right armpit has been lumpy and sore to touch for about a week before my period starts. the rest of the time it barely hurts at all but its still a bit lumpy. i think i have swolen lymph nodes but is it common to get these in only one arpit? is it just part of pms? id appreciate any knowlege / advice.

Answer 1

It could well be associated with the mentrual cycle but get it checked out by a doctor (when its at its worst!);

Answer 2

Four years with out change I would take as a good sign but I would check with your doctor. I have had painful lymph nodes under my right arm when I have had a cold or virus.

You might try some detox/immune boosting herbals.

My immune system is always lower with pms.

Answer 3

My mother-in-law had lumps like you are inquireing about.You should have your lymph nodes checked fo infection.Do not use anti-persperant as this does not allow the poisons to be released from the arm pit area.Take suplements that will detoxify your body.No Smokeing,More fruits and veggies and about half the meat.People that do not sweat are prone to toxic build up in thier lymph glands.More exersize helps the body heal from better circulatoin.

Answer 4

i get a swollen painful left armpit the same time. had it since i can remember and i have put it down to pms. unless you have any other symptoms or it starts hurting at any other time then i wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 5

It could be as simple as an ingrown hair and I really shudder to say this but might be a sign of breast cancer. Please make an appointment with your doctor immediately!

Answer 6

i have suffered from this myself, but as with all lumps and bumps its best to get it checked by a doctor!
