What Is The Hard, Movable And Painful Lump In My Armpit?

Hello, I have a deep, hard movable lump in my upper armpit. I ve had this for about a year now, but am starting to get pain running from the lump in a line down my arm, aswell as some discomfort in the area where the lump is. The discomfort is now and again, not all the time. An ultrasound scan just showed blood vessels. What could this be and should I persue to get an answer?

Ya it worthwhile to take multiple opinions to rule out any thing that has to worried about. A welling in the arm pit can be anything but a visit to the surgeon and physician should rule out any disease pathology that has to be treated. In the light of the ultrasound done get it crosschecked by a surgeon. If nothing has to be done immediately reenquire if size or pain increases. Other wise it can be left alone.
