What Is The Reason For Ball Type Muscle Under Armpit?
Hello, I have a knot about the size of a golf ball maybe even a little bigger not in my armpit but right behind the armpit. It's been there for about a year now and it isn't painful but I have problems with my shoulder and I think that pain might be a result of the lump. It's on my right side and I'm right handed so I always wondered if it was just that the muscle on that side was bigger due to that side being more active or what.. I don't know though. It can just barely move whenever you press on it. Do you have any idea what this could be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be a lipoma, if this increasing in size and hurting you or causing inconveniency then it need to excised, and if it does not cause you any thing then leave it like that only, have nice day.
