Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I appreciate your concern for the painful lymphnodes in the armpit.
Following data is missing: Age, duration of your present problem, any fever ?
In view of the painful lymphnodes with fever and loss of weight, I am of the opinion that you are having some chronic infection involving lymphnodes.
Kindly consult your doctor to rule out Tuberculosis or other conditions having similar problems.
Take care,
