Question : My arm pit is swelling and have pain in shoulder.
Brief Answer:
Could be lymph node swelling.
Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
With the swelling in arm pit and pain in the shoulder , I am inclined to think in terms of inflamed lymph nodes , which is generally secondary to infection in concerned area of drainage.
I would suggest Complete blood count ,, mammography . And if they are normal consult your GP for complete examination and treatment .
Thanks for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
