Pain In Arm, Numb Fingers, Lump Under Armpit. Taking Steroids. Tested Negative For Diabetics, Thyroid Disorder

My arms have been hurting and my fingers numb for nearly two months now. I have been tested for diabetes and thyroid disorders but all has checked out fine. It is both arms, more my right one than my left and goes from my hands all the way to my shoulder. I have been put on steroids and it didn't seem to help much. Today I found a lump under my left armpit and I am curious if this could all be something of the same issue?

Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Yes, you may be correct that the lump under your left armpit can be related to the issue. You also need thorough Physical examination assess this. The lump you observed can compress or cause pressure on nerve which in turn can be reason for your symptoms.

Let your doctor know about the lump ASAP. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
