I have a small, tender to touch lump in my left armpit. It feels like its just under the skin and looks a little red. Its not a spot or a pimple but me being a hypochondriac i am fearing the worst. I had a pain there in my first trimester of this pregnancy, but no lumps and the pain went away. A few weeks ago the pain came back and it was quite sore, but again no lumps so i thought maybe i had pulled a muscle under my arm. Then this morning i noticed the pain was back and only this evening bothered to have a feel and noticed the small lump. I am 24 weeks pregnant, i had my swine flu jab the other day so was thinking maybe it was my lymph glands working, or have read it could be a cyst or something.
I will be ringing the doc first thing monday but just wanted to see if anyone had had this before and whether i should be freaking out or not (which i already have!!).
