What Causes Chest Infection With Pain In Arms?
HI,I have recently had a malignant melenoma removed, sentinal biopsy is all clear, negative and wider incision negative, but about 6 weeks after I have had a kind of weird chest infection which wont seem to go away with very bad caugh although it has eased since, but I am also getting pain in my arm pits on and off especially when I stress out , could this be because of some lymphoma under the arms from the removal.

Sorry to hear about your recent health worries.
It sounds like you have some kind of respiratory infection, and this can cause enlargement of the lymph nodes near the arm pit (the axillary region). This is probably more likely than a new cancer or lymphoma causing enlargement of these lymph nodes. I do suggest seeing your doctor about this infection though since it may be involving your lymph nodes.
All the best and I hope you feel better.
