Suggest Treatment For Persistent Underarm Lump In An Alcoholic With Prostate Issues

Posted on Tue, 22 Dec 2015

Question: Several things going on, am concerned and in a bit of discomfort with underarm cysts and Abdominal Distension. CYSTS - I had traveled by air from XXXXXXX on Thursday to XXXXXXX and returned Yesterday. On Sunday a lump under my arm that I thought was a cyst and treated with I think Cefadroxil for a couple of weeks in early November; came back/then I got a couple more under my other arm. These are quite uncomfortable. I am a recovering alcoholic that had been on very low dosage of hydrocodone for about 10 years; have been off that for about a year. Have had chronic issues with herniated and ruptured discs in neck we have been treating with Lyrica and XXXXXXX for about five years. Have recurring prostate issues; about 3 months ago was latest bout, treated with Cyprofloxacin. XXXXXXX discontinued about 3 weeks ago as I had started taking more than he wanted me to do.

I guess I am concerned about the meds I have been taking from the Distension standpoint.

And I am very concerned about the lumps under my arms.

I have an appointment with my Dr on Thursday, is there anything I should do regarding these issues immediately.
