Noticed A Lump Under The Upper Arm And Tingling In Left Hand
Hi! Recently i noticed a lump under my upper arm skin. It is the size of a chickpea. It was painless for two days, but it's sore and painful now. My left shoulder is sore and there is tinglings in my left hand. the pain is spreading towards my neck and left side of the face. It's not intolerable but my left torso feels strange , i.e sore, numb and feels bruised. I'd be grateful if you could give me a diagnosis . Many thanks, Leyla
You need to show to a surgeon for a physical examination and an xray of the neck and shoulder, at the earliest to help reach a diagnosis and prevent its progression by correct treatment.

Noticed A Lump Under The Upper Arm And Tingling In Left Hand
Hi Leyla, That can be either due to an infection near your shoulder or near your neck. But what ever it is, its compressing the nerves in the neck. That swelling is mostly a lymph node. You need to show to a surgeon for a physical examination and an xray of the neck and shoulder, at the earliest to help reach a diagnosis and prevent its progression by correct treatment.
