1.If you are my patient i would have first examined and ask for an ultrasound examination of abdomen and pelvis ( that will grossly help in reaching the pathology) and axillary region scan ( left arm pit) - which will give the nature of the swelling,its source and extensions. And a lumbar spine AP/LAT for back pain evaluation.
2. If lump is painful on touch, redness i would suspect a bacterial infection ( hair follicular infection ) which do give a radiating pain (passing through pain ) to the chest. If its pain less it can be a lymph nodal enlargement ( this will happens in presence of any infection / inflammation within the body).
3.Pelvic scan will help in evaluation of the uterus, ovaries and cause for painful periods.
4. Yes your anxious could be due to health issue - don't worry, there is nothing very serious, every thing will be fine once find the cause.
5.Get an appointment request for the needful tests done.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
